Abstract

A general-purpose formal charge polarizable force field for cementitious systems, CementFF4, is presented. The force field includes the following species: Ca, Si, O, H, Al, Zn, OH⁻ and H₂O. The force field is a significant extension of previous force fields and is validated by comparison of structural features, elastic constants, reaction enthalpies, and vibrational density of states to experimental and ab initio values for known crystals. Particular attention is given to the tobermorite 14 Å structure, due to its similarity to the main hydration phase of Portland cements, calcium silicate hydrate. The results are in very good agreement with experimental and ab initio data over the entire range of simulated properties (less than 5 % deviation on structural properties and less than 10 % on mechanical properties for non-hydroxide minerals).

CementFF4：水泥基体系的正式原子电荷可极化力场--块体和表面

介绍了水泥基系统的通用形式电荷可极化力场 CementFF4。该力场包括以下物种：Ca、Si、O、H、Al、Zn、OH- 和 H2O：Ca、Si、O、H、Al、Zn、OH- 和 H2O。该力场是以往力场的重要扩展，并通过将结构特征、弹性常数、反应焓和振动状态密度与已知晶体的实验值和 ab initio 值进行比较而得到验证。由于托勃莫来石的 14 Å 结构与波特兰水泥的主要水化相硅酸钙水合物相似，因此受到了特别关注。在整个模拟特性范围内，结果与实验数据和 ab initio 数据非常吻合（非氢氧化物矿物的结构特性偏差小于 5%，机械特性偏差小于 10%）。
