Abstract: | Molecular dynamics calculations have been carried out to reveal the dynamical properties of an alkali chloride mixture (50 mol% LiCl---40KCl---10CsCl) and pure LiCl in the liquid and glassy states. It is found that the mobility of Li+ ions in the mixture is significantly lower than that in LiCl, not only in liquid state but also in the glassy state. The partial dynamic structure factors, SLi---Li (Q, ω) and SCl---Cl (Q, ω), are evaluated to investigate the dynamical correlation between the Li+ and Cl− ions. In LiCl glass, it is shown that the motions of the Li+ and Cl− ions are highly correlated with each other, and both the acoustic and optic modes are spatially delocalized (Q < 1.8 Å−1). On the other hand, in the mixture glass, the motion of the Li+ ions is almost independent of that of the Cl− ions, and at small wavelengths there are the intense vibrations localized on single Li+ ions similar to an Einstein oscillation. |
