Molecular-Dynamics Simulation of Molten Silica at High-Pressure
Molecular dynamics simulation of molten silica has Been undertaken for an extensive range of pressures using a recently derived potential model. Linear behavior is observed, in plotting (Z-1)V-2 vs density square, which is consistent with experimental results on compressed fluids. An increase in the medium range order and the number of higher coordinated silicons and oxygens is observed under pressure.
