In this paper, we perform a simulation about liquid GeO2. The structure and diffusion process are analyzed through the radial distribution function, the distribution of GeOx (x = 4, 5, 6) structural units, length distribution, angle distribution, and data visualization. Simulation results show that the structure of liquid GeO2 composes clusters of GeO4, GeO5, or GeO6. These clusters have sizes depending on pressure and are distributed heterogeneously in space. This result confirms the origin of dynamical heterogeneity in the liquid oxide systems. In addition, the diffusion coefficient of Ge and O decreases upon pressure. We show that the diffusion relates to the breaking bond Ge-O.

Many systems, including polymers and molecular liquids, when adequately cooled and/or compressed, solidify into a disordered solid, i.e., a glass. The transition is not abrupt, featuring progressive decrease of the microscopic mobility and huge slowing down of the relaxation. A distinctive aspect of glass-forming materials is the microscopic dynamical heterogeneity (DH), i.e., the presence of regions with almost immobile particles coexisting with others where highly mobile ones are located. Following the first compelling evidence of a strong correlation between vibrational dynamics and ultraslow relaxation, we posed the question if the vibrational dynamics encodes predictive information on DH. Here, we review our results, drawn from molecular-dynamics numerical simulation of polymeric and molecular glass-formers, with a special focus on both the breakdown of the Stokes–Einstein relation between diffusion and viscosity, and the size of the regions with correlated displacements.
