A density functional theory (DFT) based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) has been applied to simulate models of single and mixed alkali silicate glasses with two different molar concentrations of alkali oxides. The structural environments and spatial distributions of alkali ions in the 10 simulated models with 20% and 30% of Li, Na, K and equal proportions of Li-Na and Na-K are studied in detail for subtle variations among the models. Quantum mechanical calculations of electronic structures, interatomic bonding, mechanical and optical properties are carried out for each of the models and the results are compared with available experimental observation and other simulations. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data. A quantum mechanical metric, the total bond order density (TBOD) is used to characterize internal cohesion in these glass models. A mixed alkali effect (MAE) is noted only in the calculated mechanical properties but not obvious in other bulk properties. It is shown that the Li doping deviates from expected trend due to the much stronger Li-O bonding than those for Na and K doping. |
