Abstract
The polymorphous transformations in alkaline-earth silicates were investigated using molecular dynamic simulations. These simulations were based on the potentials calculated from the Gordon-Kim modified electron gas formalism extended to molecular ions. The quantum chemistry of the whole SiO4 molecular ion was calculated to obtain the optimized structure and the electron charge distribution. The covalent intramolecular interactions using Taylor expansion of the molecular ion's energy were described.
