X Abstract

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to study the structural relaxation dynamics of a model of viscous silica, the prototype of a strong glass former. We find that the melt dynamics are spatially heterogeneous regardless of whether the bulk relaxation is non-Arrhenius or Arrhenius, and cannot be understood as a statistical bondbreaking process. Further, we show that stringlike motion is suppressed by the covalent bondings, yet high particle mobility propagates continuously, supporting the concept of dynamic facilitation emphasized in recent theoretical work.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
