Determination of the Ioffe-Regel limit for vibrational excitations in disordered materials
Abstract A theoretical analysis nas been made, in terms of the spectral density, of plane-wave vibrational modes propagating in disordered solids. The Ioffe-Regel crossover freauency for vitreous…
Anharmonic damping of terahertz acoustic waves in a network glass and its effect on the density of vibrational states.
TLDR
It is shown that the temperature variation of the sound damping accounts quantitatively for the temperature dependence of the density of vibrational states.
ERRATUM: Vector vibrations and the Ioffe-Regel crossover in disordered lattices
The spectral density for vector vibrations in the face-centred cubic lattice with force-constant disorder is analysed within the coherent potential approximation. The phase diagram showing the weak-…

TLDR
It is shown that in simulations of the dynamics of this strong glass former surprisingly large finite size effects are present, and it is demonstrated that the relaxation times of the incoherent intermediate scattering function and the time dependence of the mean squared displacement are affected.

We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to study the dependence of the properties of amorphous silica on the cooling rate with which the glass has been produced. In particular we show that the…
Force fields for silicas and aluminophosphates based on ab initio calculations.
TLDR
A force field based on both microscopic and macroscopic data is derived, which combines accuracy with transferability to other polymorphs and the possibility of parametrizing other elements is demonstrated.
Cooling-rate effects in amorphous silica: A computer-simulation study.
TLDR
Using molecular-dynamics computer simulations, it is demonstrated that the cooling-rate dependence of microscopic quantities is significantly more pronounced than the one of macroscopic properties, thus demonstrating that the used potential is a good model for silica glass.
