The continuous development and improvement of interatomic potential models for oxide glasses have made classical molecular dynamics a powerful computational technique …
Silicate glasses have no long-range order and exhibit a short-range order that is often fairly similar to that of their crystalline counterparts. Hence, the out-of-equilibrium nature of …
Borosilicate glasses are traditionally challenging to model using atomic scale simulations due to the composition and thermal history dependence of the coordination state of B atoms …
Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are commonly used to predict the structure and properties of glasses, they are intrinsically limited to short time scales, necessitating the …

We study a calcium aluminosilicate glass of composition (SiO 2) 0.60 (Al 2 O 3) 0.10 (CaO) 0.30 by means of molecular dynamics. To this end, we conduct parallel simulations …
The viscosity of magma plays a crucial role in the dynamics of the Earth: from the crystallization of a magma ocean during its initial stages to modern-day volcanic processes …
With shear interest in nanoporous materials, the ultraconfining interlayer spacing of calcium– silicate–hydrate (C–S–H) provides an excellent medium to study reactivity, structure, and …
Reactive potentials, like ReaxFF, are becoming increasingly popular and are expected to bridge the gap between ab initio and classical molecular dynamics simulations. Yet, their …
Despite advances in the characterization and modeling of cement hydrates, the atomic order in Calcium–Silicate–Hydrate (C–S–H), the binding phase of cement, remains an open …
