    Atomistic computer simulations of material behaviors

    • Potential development for atomistic simulations of glass and ceramics Interatomic potentials are critical to atomistic simulations of materials. Our group develop interatomic potentials for silicate, borosilicate, and phosphosilicate glasses, as well as reactive potentials to study glass-water interactions, through empirical fitting and QM calculations.

    • Glass structure and structure-property relations Glass materials have many unique properties such as optical, dielectric, mechanical and others but the structure of glass lacks long range order hence defies any single experimental characterizations. We utilize both classical and ab initio based materials simulations to study the complex glass structures and structure-property relations of glass materials.

    • Simulations of glass corrosion and glass-environment interactions

    Glass corrosion and glass–environment interactions play an important role from glass processing, packaging, to glasses for biomedical and nuclear waste disposal applications. MD simulations with reactive potentials and MC simulations were used to understand the corrosion mechanisms in glass materials.

    • Glass for nuclear waste disposal Vitrification is a widely accepted method to immobilize nuclear waste to provide clean energies and ensure safe environment. We investigate borosilicate, aluminosilicate and other glasses for waste applications by using simulations and experiments. Particularly, we try to understand the structures of these glasses and how they interact with the environment (or the corrosion behaviors).
