Atomic diffusion in covalent liquids under pressure from ab initio molecular dynamics

The microscopic mechanisms of atomic diffusion in liquid GeO2 and SrGeO3 are investigated by ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations. We clarify the differences of diffusion mechanism between liquid GeO2 and SrGeO3. In both liquids, non-bridging oxygen double bonded to only one germanate plays a ke...
