Analysis of the Network Topology in Silicate Liquids and its Pressure Dependence

Abstract

In this article, static and dynamics properties of silicate liquids at high pressure are briefly reviewed as introduction. The main theme of this review is analysis method of network topology of SiO₄ corner shared network in silicate liquids and glasses, especially in molecular dynamics simulations. Furthermore, I will introduce the results by applying newly developed analysis method to sodium tetrasilicate liquids at pressure.
