    Hi Sarah,

    You can do it using Lammps or Quantum Wise. Quantum Wise has this
    example using cristobalite. The tutorial is here

    You can try the trial license. ;)

    cheers

        Thanks for your response, Layla. I don't know about this
        process; can you please direct me to an example or some
        literature that would describe it in detail? Is there QE code
        anywhere that I can reference?
        Thanks!

            Dear Sarah, you can also use a cristobalite supercell and
            make molecular dynamics at high temperature to obtain a
            liquid and then quench it.

            cheers

                Dear All,
                     I am trying to simulate amorphous SiO2. If I am
                correct, it structures as tetrahedral arrangements
                wherein all the tetrahedra are connected, but have
                random orientations. So, what I am envisioning to do
                is create a supercell of about 20 tetrahedra, and
                orient these 20 based on a Monte Carlo method. Is this
                the correct way to simulate the amorphous SiO2? And if
                it is, are there any suggestions for how to use a
                Monte Carlo method to find the atomic positions?
                I'd appreciate any feed back.
                Thanks,
                Sarah
