Topological ordering during flexible to rigid transitions in disordered networks by Micoulaut, Matthieu

“…This contribution focuses on the structural origin of flexible to rigid transitions and the possible underlying intermediate phase which have been reported to occur in a variety of network glasses such as chalcogenides or modified oxides. Here, using molecular dynamics simulations of densified glass-forming liquids, 2SiO$_2$-Na$_2$O, which are known to display a numerical reversibility window as a signature of an intermediate phase, we focus on structural functions emphasizing topological ordering using the Bhatia–Thornton formalism. …”
