Structure and liquid fragility in sodium carbonate

M Wilson, MCC Ribeiro, MC Wilding… - The Journal of …, 2018 - ACS Publications
The relationship between local structure and dynamics is explored for molten sodium
carbonate. A flexible fluctuating-charge model, which allows for changes in the shape and …

Structurally determined directionality identifies the boundary between mobile and immobile domains in a disordered material

VK de Souza, P Harrowell - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2012 - pubs.aip.org
The structure and available degrees of freedom of an amorphous configuration can
determine the location of dynamic heterogeneities. In the same way, these features can also …

The influence of overconstraint on the spatial distribution of mobility in an amorphous network

VK de Souza, P Harrowell - The Journal of chemical physics, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
It is proposed that the dynamic heterogeneities of an amorphous material are strongly
correlated with the spatial distribution of unconstrained degrees of freedom in the associated …
