abstract = {The atomic structures of magnesium silicate melts are key
to understanding processes related to the evolution of the
Earth's mantle and represent precursors to the formation of
most igneous rocks. Magnesium silicate compositions also
represent a major component of many glass ceramics, and
depending on their composition can span the entire fragility
range of glass formation. The silica rich enstatite
(MgSiO(3)) composition is a good glass former, whereas the
forsterite (Mg(2)SiO(4)) composition is at the limit of
glass formation. Here, the structure of MgSiO(3) and
Mg(2)SiO(4) composition glasses obtained from levitated
liquids have been modeled using Reverse Monte Carlo fits to
diffraction data and by density functional theory. A ring
statistics analysis suggests that the lower glass forming
ability of the Mg(2)SiO(4) glass is associated with a
topologically ordered and very narrow ring distribution. The
MgO(x) polyhedra have a variety of irregular shapes in
MgSiO(3) and Mg(2)SiO(4) glasses and a cavity analysis
demonstrates that both glasses have almost no free volume
due to a large contribution from edge sharing of
MgO(x)-MgO(x) polyhedra. It is found that while the atomic
volume of Mg cations in the glasses increases compared to
that of the crystalline phases, the number of Mg-O contacts
is reduced, although the effective chemical interaction of
Mg(2+) remains similar. This unusual structure-property
relation of Mg(2)SiO(4) glass demonstrates that by using
containerless processing it may be possible to synthesize
new families of dense glasses and glass ceramics with zero
porosity.},
