Scientific paper

We present extensive numerical investigations of the structural relaxation dynamics of a realistic model of the amorphous high-temperature ceramic a-Si$_3$B$_3$N$_7$, probing the mean square displacement (MSD) of the atoms, the bond survival probability (BSP), the average energy, the specific heat, and the two-point energy average. Combining the information from these different sources, we identify a transition temperature $T_c \approx 2000$ K below which the system is no longer ergodic and physical quantities observed over a time $t_{obs}$ show a systematic parametric dependence on the waiting time $t_w$, or age, elapsed after the quench. The aging dynamics 'stiffens' as the system becomes older, which is similar to the behavior of highly idealized models such as Ising spin-glasses and Lennard-Jones glasses.
