Computational Modeling of a-SiO₂ Nanoparticles and their Electronic Structure Calculation
(2015-08-12)The spherical amorphous silica (a-SiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs) are constructed from a previous continuous random network (CRN) model of a-SiO₂ with the periodic boundary. The models of radii 12 Å, 15 Å, 18 Å, 20 Å, 22 Å, ... -
Structure and Physical Properties of Hydrogrossular Mineral Series
(2015)The mineral hydrogrossular series (Ca₃Al₂(SiO4)₃₋ₓ(OH) ₄ₓ; 0 ≤ x ≤ 3) are important water bearing minerals found in the upper and lower part of the Earth’s mantle. They are vital to the planet’s hydrosphere under different ...
