Dynamics of Sodium in Sodium Disilicate: Channel Relaxation and Sodium Diffusion

Dynamics of Sodium in Sodium Disilicate: Channel Relaxation and Sodium Diffusion

We use molecular-dynamics computer simulations to study the dynamics of amorphous (Na2O)2(SiO2). We find that the Na ions move in channels embedded in a SiO2 matrix. The characteristic distance between these channels gives rise to a prepeak in the structure factor at q approximately equal to 0.95 A(-1). The dynamics …
