Abstract

A model of silica glass consisting of a fully connected corner-sharing network of SiO4 tetrahedra is refined using neutron diffraction data and reverse Monte Carlomodelling. Thismodel is then used to investigate optimal inter-tetrahedral Si–O–Si bond angle distributions. The distribution which is most consistent with the data is found to be centred around θSi−O−Si = 151.0◦ with a standard deviation of between 9◦ and 12◦. Other recent determinations of the Si–O–Si bond angle distribution are in good agreement with this result.
