Abstract
Ab initio LDF theory has been used to derive interatomic potentials for the Si-O and O-O interaction in α-quartz. The potentials have been used to study the lattice dynamical properties of α-quartz from 1 atm to 12.5 Gpa pressure. The results are compared with other calculated and experimentally derived potentials.
