Scientific paper

Computer simulations based on the molecular dynamics (MD) technique were used to study the mechanisms and kinetics of free evaporation from crystalline and molten forsterite (i.e., Mg2SiO4) on an atomic level. The interatomic potential employed for these simulations reproduces the energetics of bonding in forsterite and in gas-phase MgO and SiO2 reasonably accurately. Results of the simulation include predicted evaporation rates, diffusion rates, and reaction mechanisms for Mg2SiO4(s or l) yields 2Mg(g) + 20(g) + SiO2(g).
