Modeling growth and stability of nanoporous materials

We have modeled the thermodynamics and polymerization of silica, in order to understand the formation of complex materials such as zeolites. We have developed a simple molecular model of silica that is both physically realistic and computation ally efficient. We performed isobaric-isothermal Monte C...
