Temperature-Dependent Oxidation Behavior of Silicon Carbide Surface: Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The high-temperature oxidation mechanism of silicon carbide (SiC) is crucial for designing thermal protection systems in aircraft. This study explored the oxidative chemical reaction processes and mechanism on SiC surface and interfaces within the temperature range of 300-2300 K by using reactive molecular dynamics simulation. The oxygen impact on the silica (SiO
