Abstract

A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to study the structure of vitreous boron oxide. A polarization model was adapted to stabilize such structure for boron-oxygen interactions. The results showed that two factors are relevant to boroxol ring formation in simulations of boron oxide and the appropriate manipulation of temperature history.
