Abstract:The authors performed a molecular dynamics simulation to survey the structural and dynamictransition in liquid silica. In detail, research results on the radial distribution function, the coordination number, the characteristics of the domain and average energy per atom showed that silica undergoes three different structural regions when the temperature increases from 2000 to 6000 K. The structural transition occurred most strongly at the temperature range of 4500-5000 K. Furthermore, the au… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
