Laser-induced structural modification in calcium aluminosilicate glasses using molecular dynamic simulations

Abstract Glass structures of multicomponent oxide systems (CaO–Al2O3–SiO2) are studied using a simulated pulsed laser with molecular dynamics. The short- and intermediate-range order structures revealed a direct correlation between the transformation of Al(IV) to Al(V), regions of increased density...
