The high-pressure dynamics of a computer-modeled silica melt is studied in the framework of the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition (MCT) using static-structure input from molecular-dynamics (MD) computer simulation. The theory reproduces the experimentally known viscosity minimum (diffusivity maximum) as a function of density or pressure and explains it in terms of a corresponding minimum in its critical temperature. This minimum arises from a gradual change in the equilibrium static structure which shifts from being dominated by tetrahedral ordering to showing the cageing known from high-density liquids. The theory is in qualitative agreement with computer simulation results.
