Abstract
To investigate the effects of interstitial water on phase transition mechanisms of forsterite glass, we performed molecular dynamics calculations of forsterite-water systems. The results show that the density of the interstitial water is higher than that of ordinary water. This suggests that the interstitial water can be a liquid state in forsterite glass at temperatures above the boiling point without pressurization. Furthermore, the formation of the magnesium hydroxide crystal from the dissolved MgOxHy in the high-density water was observed. The unique property of the interstitial water is an important factor to understand the evolution processes of silicate minerals in space.
