In particular, mixtures of sodium-disilicate and potassium-silicate are studied. In such systems, the silicon and oxygen atoms form a disordered network. The alkali atoms are relatively mobile and will diffuse through channels in the silica network. This behaviour is rationalised by considering the concept of accessible free volume .Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.8 [Computer Graphics]: ApplicationsUsing Visualisation Techniques and Molecular Dynamics to Study Atoms Diffusing in Glass
