Zusammenfassung:The microscopic structure of nanoporous silica is investigated using the Molecular Dynamics simulation method. Porous silica structures are produced by simulated atom aggregation and clustering. The structures are then relaxed at atmospheric pressure. We find that on these length scales the simulated porous silicas have a minimum fractal dimension of 2.6 and density 0.7 g/ml.
