Failure to reproduce the results of A new transferable interatomic potential for molecular dynamics simulations of borosilicate

We reproduced the simulations described in Wang et al. (2018) and found we could not obtain the results reported. The root cause was identified to be incorrect atom masses in the original simulation files. As a consequence, the potential does not reproduce the experimental glass density - and presumably, other structural properties - and should be considered with great caution.

Automated summary

We replicated the simulations from Wang et al. (2018) but were unable to reproduce the reported results. The issue was traced back to incorrect atom masses in the original simulation files. Consequently, the potential fails to replicate the experimental glass density and should be approached with caution for other structural properties as well.
