Amorphous silica (a-SiO$_2$) is a foundational disordered material for which the thermal transport properties are important for various applications. To accurately model the interatomic interactions in classical molecular dynamics (MD)…
Thermal transport in solids changes its nature from phonon propagation that suffers from perturbative scattering to thermally activated hops between localized vibrational modes as the level of disorder increases. Models have been proposed…

Lattice thermal conductivities of two SiO$_2$ polymorphs, i.e., $\alpha$-quartz (low) and $\alpha$-cristobalite (low), were studied using first-principles anharmonic phonon calculation and linearized phonon Boltzmann transport equation.…
We use extensive classical molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the thermal conductivity of a model silica glass. Apart from the potential parameters, this is done with no other adjustable quantity and the standard equations of heat…
Predicting the thermal conductivity of glasses from first principles has hitherto been a prohibitively complex problem. In fact, past works have highlighted challenges in achieving computational convergence with respect to length and/or…

Proper consideration of anharmonicity is important for the calculation of the thermal conductivity. However, how the anharmonicity influences the thermal conduction in amorphous materials is still an open question. In this work, we uncover…

Amorphous silica density at ambient pressure is known to depend on thermal history (through the quenching rate) but also, at room temperature, on the maximum pressure applied in the past. Here we show that beyond density, a mechanical…
