The Structure and Dynamics of Sodium Disilicate
Jurgen Horbach, Walter Kob
Abstract
We investigate the structure and dynamics of sodium disilicate by means of molecular dynamics computer simulation. We show that the structure is described by a partially destroyed tetrahedral SiO4 network and a spherical super structure formed by the silicon and sodium atoms. The static structure factor of our simulation is in very good agreement with one from a neutron scattering experiment. For 1008 particles we find strong finite size effects in the dynamics which are due to the missing of modes contributing to the boson peak.
