Apparent finite-size effects in the dynamics of supercooled liquids
Apparent finite-size effects in the dynamics of supercooled liquids
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed for a supercooled simple liquid with changing the system size from N=108 to 10(4) to examine possible finite-size effects. Although almost no systematic deviation is detected in the static pair correlation functions, it is demonstrated that the structural alpha relaxation in a small system becomes …
