      <Abstract:> We investigated the structural units of xNa2O-(1      – x) B2O3 glasses using molecular      dynamics (MD) simulation with the interatomic potential provided by      first-principles calculations. The results are consistent with      experimental trends in interatomic distance, linear thermal      expansion coefficient and BO4 units. The amount of 5- to      8-membered rings at x = 0.2 is larger than the other      composition range. This suggests that the structural unit      constructed by a few rings is related to suppression of thermal      expansion.
