Defects and Calcium Diffusion in Wollastonite

Wollastonite (CaSiO<sub>3</sub>) is an important mineral that is widely used in ceramics and polymer industries. Defect energetics, diffusion of Ca ions and a solution of dopants are studied using atomistic-scale simulation based on the classical pair potentials. The energetically favour...
