New ReaxFF parameters are developed for the description of Mg/Al/Si/O interaction for the Magnesium Aluminosilicate (MAS) glass structure. The training set contains energy curves from equation of state for various Mg/Al/Si/O crystals, valence angle and bond distance scan, and heat of formation for the Mg/Al/Si/O interactions. A semi-automated Genetic Algorithm assisted by Artificial Neural Network is applied for this parametrization. Validation efforts showed the current ReaxFF parameter set can describe the atomistic structure and property of tectosilicate MAS glass including S-glass. Estimated quasi-static modulus of S-glass structure matches well with experimental value. Analysis shows the key of high modulus of S-glass is numerous Mg-BO (Bridge Oxygen) interactions across the Mg-O-AlSi structure. In addition, atomistic origin of high ductility and progressive failure of S-glass is derived from the reconstruction of the atomic structure, forming Mg-BO-Si interactions that delays fracture formation.

The oxygenation of YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) leads to an orthorhombic distortion of the unit cell to accommodate the extra oxygen atom. This makes the formation of twins energetically favourable with CuO4 planar unit chains running alternately along the a and b axes of the parent tetragonal structure. The geometry of this twinning is such that four possible twin variants may co-exist with the twin boundaries lying in the (110) or (110) planes of the deformed structure. The traces of these planes are not mutually perpendicular and thus the crystal is strained to allow for the mismatch. It is to the nature of this strain field that this work has been addressed.Sintered samples were prepared by crushing and dispersing the resultant powder onto a very fine Cu mesh grid. Single crystals were chemically thinned to perforation. No discernible artefacts were seen and similar results were obtained with either method.

Aromatic chloroformates Ib-Ie were shown to exist in the ap conformation, in agreement with aliphatic chloroformates, i.e. the alkyl group is situated cis to the carbonyl oxygen atom as it is the case in all esters. While 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (Ie) is in this conformation in crystal, in solution at most several tenths of percent of the sp conformation may be populated at room temperature and in nonpolar solvents only. A new analysis of dipole moments explained the previous puzzling results and demonstrated the impossibility to determine the conformation by this single method, in consequence of the strong interaction of adjoining bonds. If, however, the ap conformation is once proven, the dipole moments reveal some features of the electron distribution on the functional group, characterized by the enhanced polarity of the C-Cl bond and reduced polarity of the C=O bond. This is in agreement with the observed bond lengths and angles.
