Project Description DL_POLY is a molecular dynamics simulation tool for computing step-by-step molecular interactions using a given potential and material composition. We recently contributed to a joint computational-experimental project whose goal was determining a Nb-O interaction potential useful for simulations of both lithium niobosilicate glass and lithium niobate crystal [1]. Besides using this simulation for determination of glass structure, an interesting problem is simulating growth at a crystal-glass interface. The results will be compared to recent experimental results in the literature [2] to further understand the influence of the surrounding glass on crystal growth.
