A first-principles description of liquid BeF2 and its mixtures with LiF: 2. Network formation in LiF-BeF2.

Abstract:

A polarizable ionic interaction potential, constructed from first-principles calculations, is used to examine the structure, vibrational spectra, and transport properties of molten mixtures of LiF and BeF2 across a range of compositions. The simulations reproduce the experimentally measured vibrational frequencies of the fluoroberyllate (BeF4(2-)) ions, which form in the melt, as well as conductivity and viscosity values across the composition range. Examination of the structures of the melts...
