Abstract
Understanding the medium-range (5-20 Å) order (MRO) structure has been a long-standing topic in pinpointing the structure-property correlation of glass materials. In this work, persistent homology (PH) is utilized to decipher the MRO of zinc phosphate (ZP) glasses. The structure of ZP glasses in this study can be well-reproduced with the Pedone potential. Contribution of various MRO features, i.e., loop structure, to the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) of ZP glasses can be deconvoluted by using persistent homology. The FSDP of ZP glass is dominated by the loop structure with size > 4. The present research can bring new insights for the MRO structure of glass.
