Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulation of amorphous ZrO2-SiO2 containing 10, 30 and 50 mol% of ZrO2 has been performed using Born-Mayer-Huggins pair potentials. Various pair distribution functions are presented and discussed. These results reveal an inherent tendency of the Zr atoms towards clustering, even at low concentrations. Also the oxygen environment of Zr suggests edge sharing of [SiO4/2] tetrahedra at high ZrO2 concentrations while at low concentrations thet are predominantly in corner-sharing geometry. Features suggesting the formation of zircon type structures have been observed in 50ZrO2-50SiO2. These conclusions are supported by mean square displacement data as well.
