Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations of ZnAl2O4 spinel have been carried out at 300 and 800 K. Comparison with experimental data shows that at low temperature the most favorable configuration is that of a mixed spinel. As temperature increases the structural transformation becomes more evident. A detailed interpretation of the experimental vibrational spectrum and radial distribution functions is obtained.
