Abstract
A model for subsequent use in molecular dynamics simulation of the V2O 5 gel host is derived by reproducing the observed crystal structure. T he band-like gel structure is then mimicked through a strategy whereby space is introduced between the layers of corner- and edge-sharing VO 5 pyramids; the extent of these layers is then delimited in a second d irection. Structural and dynamic properties of this somewhat simplisti c gel model are analyzed.
