The structural and dynamic properties of silica melts under high pressure are studied using molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulation. The interactions between the ions are modeled by a pairwise-additive potential, the so-called CHIK potential, that has been recently proposed by Carre et al. The experimental equation of state is well-reproduced by the CHIK model. With increasing pressure (density), the structure changes from a tetrahedral network to a network containing a high number of five- and six-fold Si-O coordination. In the partial static structure factors, this change of the structure with increasing density is reflected by a shift of the first sharp diffraction peak towards higher wavenumbers q, eventually merging with the main peak at densities around 4.2 g/cm^3. The self-diffusion constants as a function of pressure show the experimentally-known maximum, occurring around a pressure of about 20 GPa.
Explicit molecular dynamics simulations were applied to a pair of amorphous silica nanoparticles in aqueous solution, of diameter 4.4 nm with four different background electrolyte concentrations, to extract the mean force acting between the pair of s
Explicit molecular dynamics simulations were applied to a pair of amorphous silica nanoparticles of diameter 3.2 nm immersed in a background electrolyte. Mean forces acting between the pair of silica nanoparticles were extracted at four different bac
A fitting scheme is proposed to obtain effective potentials from Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulations. It is used to parameterize a new pair potential for silica. MD simulations with this new potential are done to determine structural
The nature of the amorphous state has been notably difficult to ascertain at the microscopic level. In addition to the fundamental importance of understanding the amorphous state, potential changes to amorphous structures as a result of radiation dam
We report an {it ab initio} simulation study of changes in structural and dynamic properties of liquid Si at 7 pressures ranging from 10.2 GPa to 24.3 GPa along the isothermal line 1150~K, which is above the minimum of the melting line. The increase
