ABSTRACTThe molecular dynamics computer simulation technique has been used to study silicic acid and pyrosilicic acid molecules (H4 SiO4 and H6 Si 2 O7, respectively). The structure of the simulated molecules are compared to those found by molecular orbital calculations as well as structures inferred from silicate hydrates. The potentials used to simulate the molecules were also used in simulations of bulk silicates and compared with experimental data. Results indicate good correlation.

The atomic-level computer simulation technique of molecular dynamics is reviewed and its application is illustrated by the insights obtained in some current problems in the physics of liquids. These include melting in two and three dimensions.

ABSTRACTTight-binding molecular-dynamics simulations are performed to study the structure of liquid and amorphous carbon. Comparisons of our results with ab initiomolecular dynamics (Car-Parrinello) results and experimental data show that the scheme has sufficient accuracy and efficiency for realistic simulation study of the structural properties of complex carbon systems.

Seeded crystallization and solidification in nanoscale confinement volumes has become an important and complex topic in nanomanufacturing. Due to the complexity and limitations in observing nanoscale crystallization, computer simulation can provide valuable details for supporting and interpreting experimental observations. In this article, seeded crystallization from nano-confined liquid, as represented by the crystallization of a suspended gold nano-droplet seeded by a pre-existing gold nanocrystal seed, was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations in canonical (NVT) ensemble. We found that the crystallization temperature depends on nano-confinement volume, crystal orientation and seed size as explained by classical two-sphere model and Gibbs-Thomson effect.
