Abstract
We have developed and applied a computer algorithm that generates realistic random-network models of -Si with periodic boundary conditions. These are the first models to have correlation functions that show no serious discrepancy with experiment. The algorithm provides a much-needed systematic approach to model construction that can be used to generate models of a large class of amorphous materials.
