Abstract

A computer simulation of amorphous SiO2, with a potential which includes formal ionic charges and an explicit account of polarization effects, produces a calculated infrared spectrum in good agreement with experiment. The polarization effects play a crucial role in reproducing the observed network vibrational frequencies and in allowing for the correct distribution of intensity across the spectrum.
