Computer simulation of the structure and properties of non-crystalline oxides

The results of the studies of the structure and properties of non-crystalline (liquid and amorphous) oxide systems obtained using computer simulation methods are summarised. The models of simple oxides, homologous series of non-crystalline oxides and of binary and multi-component oxide systems are considered. The results of the simulation of the ion transfer are discussed. The ionic theory of oxides allows one to predict adequately the structural and thermodynamic properties of oxide systems except for the phosphate oxides and some other systems. The bibliography includes 222 references.
