Abstract

We review how molecular dynamics computer simulations are providing a comprehensive picture of the behaviour of silica, as modelled by the van Beest–Kramer–van Santen (BKS) potential. We have recently evaluated a number of key properties of this model system: the phase diagram, including melting lines of three crystal phases; the equation of state and free energy of the liquid phase; the dynamical equation of state; the average energy of inherent structures, and configurational entropy, associated with the potential energy landscape of the liquid; and a characterization of the local coordination environments in the supercooled liquid. The results reveal the interplay among a number of phenomena, in particular, the relationship between the energy landscape and the fragile–to–strong crossover of the liquid dynamics; and the relation of both of these to the possibility of a liquid–liquid phase transition in the supercooled liquid.
