Abstract

We present a molecular dynamics investigation on hydrogen diffusivity in crystalline quartz by computing the diffusion coefficient over a wide range of temperatures (700K < T < 1500K) and by characterizing the diffusion path and mechanism. Our main findings are: (i) hydrogen diffusion is anisotropically confined along the c-axis in α- and β-quartz; (ii) hydrogen diffuses through a jump-like mechanism; (iii) the temperature-dependent diffusivity follows an Arrhenius law with activation energy of 0.56 eV and 0.27 eV for α-and β-quartz, respectively.
