The structure and properties of the GexAsxS100-2x have been studied by ab initio molecular dynamics simulation. By calculating the pair distribution functions, bond angle distribution functions, we analyze the structure and properties of the alloys. Calculations show that Ge and As are all well combined with S atoms. When x is smaller than 25.0 the binding increases with x , when x is larger than 25.0 the binding decreases with increasing x . The intervention of As atom does not affect the GeS2 formation in Ge40As40S80

The microstructure in Mg2SiO4 glass under high compression is studied by molecular dynamic method. This work revealed the correlation between pair radial distribution functions (PRDF) of Si-Si pair and bond angle distribution (BAD) of Si-O-Si and focus on clarifying the split peak of Si-Si PRDF. Moreover, visualizing the bonds of Si-Si at different pressures show changing of Si-Si bonds with pressure. In particularly, as increasing pressure, it forms corner-sharing, edge-sharing and face-sharing bond between SiOx coordination units results in the first peak splitting of Si-Si PRDF at high pressure. The results of Si-Si’s PRDF have also been analyzed and explained in detail.

ABSTRACTMuch attention has been given to bulk metallic glasses (BMG) in recent years, particularly those based on binary alloys due to the simplicity of their atomic composition. Although efforts to understand the atomistic features that give rise to their exceptional properties have been made, the electronic and vibrational properties have been disregarded. We undertook the task of simulating the Cu64Zr36 glassy metal using a supercell with 108 atoms and a different simulational approach: the undermelt-quench approach [1]. The structure was characterized by means of the radial (pair) distribution function and the bond-angle distribution and the electronic density of states was calculated. We find that our results agree well with experimental data.

Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate the atomic structure of a model Cu64Zr36 bulk metallic glass (BMG). It is found that the amount of icosahedral content of the system is significantly increased in a well relaxed structure. While we considered four connection types of vertex-, edge-, face-, and volume-sharing, the huge cluster in the relaxed samples mainly involve volume-type connection and exhibits a remarkable athermal plasticity that great stiffness and great yield strength compared to the as-quenched samples. In addition, the bond-angle distribution of annealed sample shows sharp peaks at specific bond angles which is an evidence of crystallized Laves-phase formed by icosahedral atoms, however the peaks are to be broaden after loading, which indicates decreasing amount of icosahedral content and their shape distortion. These results suggest that icosahedral content in a bulk metallic glasses plays a key role to determine the mechanical properties such as rigidity and maximum stress carrying capacity.

Molecular dynamics simulation is carried out for liquid SiO 2 at pressure ranged from zero to 30 GPa and by using BKS, Born–Mayer type and Morse–Stretch potentials. The constructed models reproduce well the experimental data in terms of mean coordination number, bond angle and pair radial distribution function. Furthermore, the density of all samples can be expressed by a linear function of fractions SiO x. It is found that the topology of units SiO x and linkages OSi y is unchanged upon compression although the liquid undergoes substantial change in its network structure. Consequently, the partial bond angle distribution for SiO x and OSi y is identical for all samples constructed by the same potential. This result allows to establishing a simple expression between total bond angle distribution (BAD) and fraction of SiO x and OSi y. The simulation shows a good agreement between the calculation and simulation results for both total O–Si–O and Si–O–Si BADs. This supports a technique to estimate amount of units SiO x and linkages OSi y on base of total Si–O–Si and O–Si–O BADs measured experimentally.

The frustules of diatoms have excellent elasticity and high strength, but their main composition, amorphous silica, is a kind of typical brittle material. Molecular dynamics simulations of the uniaxial tension were carried out to study the size effect on the mechanical properties of amorphous silica. Stress-strain behavior, the radius of biggest void, radial distribution functions and bond angle distribution were analyzed. Our results show the small model exhibits a better ultimate strength, ductility and toughness than the large model, and the generation and expansion of voids plays an important role in the fracture behavior of the model. For the small model, some of Si-O bonds are stretched, and the average of O-Si-O bond angle decreases from 108o to 95o, which makes the model have a capability to perform larger plastic deformation and lead to a better ductility. However, for the large model, except the change of Si-O-Si bond angle, its structure has no other significant changes. Our results demonstrate that changes of size have significant impact on the mechanical properties and deformation mechanism of intrinsically brittle materials at the nanoscale.

Structure of network-forming liquid B2 O3 is investigated by Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) at 2000K and in the 0-40 GPa pressure range (corresponding to the 1.71-3.04 g/cm3 density range). Results indicate that network structure of liquid B2 O3 comprises of basic structural units BO3 and BO4 . The topology and size of BO3 and BO4 units at different densities are identical. The O-B-O and B-O-B partial bond angle distributions (BADs) can be determined through the fraction of BO3 and BO4 units. Furthermore, the total BADs are directly related to the partial BADs and the fraction of structural units. It means the fraction of units BOX (X = 3,4) and units OBy (y = 2,3) can be determined from the experimental BADs. The spatial distribution of BO3 and BO4 units is not uniform but forming clusters of BO3 and BO4 . This leads to the polyamorphism in liquid B2 O3 . It also shows that the dynamical heterogeneity in liquid B2 O3 due to the lifetimes of BO3 and BO4 units are very different. The structural heterogeneity is origin of spatially heterogeneous dynamics in liquids B2 O3 .
