摘要
The results of a detailed molecular dynamics investigation of relaxation in the van der Waals system o-terphenyl are presented. Our calculations give clear evidence for the existence of a fast ''relaxation process'' on the picosecond time scale. This confirms the neutron-scattering observation of an anomalous decrease of the Debye-Waller factor. The observed relaxation process results from strongly anharmonic motion of molecules trapped in cages formed by their neighbours.
