It looks like different randomizations give different diffusion coefficients.
Actually, this is well documented in [6,7].
Here are the results for this run:
From the slope of oxygen MSD's the following values for the diffusion coefficient are obtained (for procedure see 19990614):
(MSD data fitted in the interval
)
And here is the comparison of oxygen MSD's (core only) between 19990617 and 19990614:
Following the two papers [6,7], we should
setup a criterion for building up the starting
configuration. Something like: ``no
point
defects in nearest neighbor position'' or ``no
centers with
impurities in nearest neighbor
position'' or whatever. In other words, we have to ``standardize'' the
starting configuration in order to make results from different runs
comparable.
