Ab initio Molecular Dynamics Trajectories for Hydrous Silicate Melts

Dataset title Ab initio Molecular Dynamics Trajectories for Hydrous Silicate Melts
Dataset creators James Drewitt, University of Bristol
Dataset theme Geoscientific Information
Dataset abstract

Ab initio trajectories for the equilibrated MgO-SiO2-H2O melts at T = 1800 K and 3000 K are provided as "XDATCAR" files output directly from VASP for each simulation interval. Corresponding stress tensor components, required for calculation of viscosity via the autocorrelation function, together with the energy, temperature, and pressure are also provided for each iteration of the equilibrated trajectories. A full data inventory is provided in the READ_ME.txt file.
