The study of diffusion mechanism in network-forming liquid: Silica liquid

Molecular dynamics simulation is employed to investigate the diffusion mechanism in silica melt, a typical network-forming liquid. From the analysis of SiOx→SiOx±1 and OSiy→OSiy±1 reactions we reveal two moving modes: fast hopping and slow collective moving. Accordingly the atoms diffuse in the melt...
