✦ Synopsis


Specific Heat of Amorphous Silica within the Harmonic Approximation.

-Molecular dynamics computer simulations show that the harmonic approximation is valid for temperatures below 300 K but starts to break down at higher temperatures. Due to the limited size of the system, the low-temp. specific heat obtained is about a factor of 2 smaller than that found in experiments. For higher temperatures the theoretical curves agree well with the experimental data.
