摘要: We present the results of a molecular dynamics computer simulation in which we investigate silica. By considering different system sizes, show that simulations this strong glass former surprisingly large finite size effects are present. In particular, demonstrate relaxation times incoherent intermediate scattering function and time dependence mean squared displacement affected by such effects. compressing to high densities, transform it fragile find for these types much weaker.
