We show that the structure is described by a partially destroyed tetrahedral SiO_4 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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-04-06T06:17:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "sodium disilicate", "molecular dynamics computer simulation", "static structure factor", "strong finite size effects", "sodium atoms" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999cond.mat..4066H" } } }
