Recent research has demonstrated that pressure affects the              structure of liquids in ways that have significant geological                   consequences.  Perhaps the most significant result is that                      certain silicate liquids may become denser than the surrounding                 mantle solids at pressures below 30 GPa.  The PI will investigate               the effect of pressure on the structurfe and compressibility of                 SiO2 liquids and glasses, and other simple silicate liquids.                    The proposed research includes Monte Carlo simulations of                       liquids with covalent and other many body pair potentials, and                  more efficient liquid models based on coupled integral equations.               By using many body pair-potentials of several kinds will show                   how pressure affects loca coordination, compressibility, thermal                expansivity, specific heat, etc.  Emphasis will be on the                       identification of structural mechanisms, and their relationship                 to elasticity and other thermodynamic parameters; quantitatiave                 results may also be obtained in some cases.
