  4. LDH-Cl Materials Properties Analysis of thermal undulations and stress strain to give hard to determine materials properties. Thyveetil, M-A.; Coveney, P.V.; Suter, J.L.; Greenwell, H.C., “Emergence of undulations and determination of materials properties in large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of layered double hydroxides”, Chem. Mater.,19, 5510-5523 (2007).

  5. LDH-Cl Materials Properties The system exhibits emergent properties, which are suppressed in smaller-scale simulations. Undulatory modes are caused by the collective thermal motion of atoms in the LDH layers. At length scales larger than 20.7 Å, these thermal undulations cause the LDH sheets to interact and the oscillations are damped. The thermal undulations provide information about the materials properties of the system. In this way, we obtain values for the bending modulus of 8.3 ± 0.4 x 10-19 J with in-plane Young’s moduli of 63.4 ± 0.5 GPa for a hydrated system and 139 ± 1 GPa for the LDH sheets alone.
