Abstract

We demonstrate a new echo phenomena that appears in molecular dynamics simulations of a solid. This echo occurs in the behavior of the temperature after the system recovers from two abrupt quenches. We give a simple explanation of this effect and show how it can be used to determine the density of states and the coupling between normal modes. We have found considerable anharmonicities even at low temperature in a Lennard-Jones glass. © 1980.
