Using Visualisation Techniques and Molecular Dynamics to Study Atoms Diffusing in Glass
Abstract
In this poster, virtual reality and visualisation techniques are used to interpret the output of Molecular Dynamics simulations. In particular, mixtures of sodium-disilicate and potassium-silicate are studied. In such systems, the silicon and oxygen atoms form a disordered network. The alkali atoms are relatively mobile and will diffuse through channels in the silica network. This behaviour is rationalised by considering the concept of accessible free volume .
