Cooling-rate effects in amorphous silica: A computer-simulation study
Cooling-rate effects in amorphous silica: A computer-simulation study
Using molecular dynamics computer simulations we investigate how in silica the glass transition and the properties of the resulting glass depend on the cooling rate with which the sample is cooled. By coupling the system to a heat bath with temperature $T_b(t)$, we cool the system linearly in time, $T(t)=T_i-\gamma …
