The physical properties of vitreous and amorphous silicon nanoparticles containing 300, 400, and 500 atoms are investigated by the molecular dynamics method. For a limited number of degrees of freedom, the internal energy of the amorphous phase is often less than the internal energy of the vitreous phase. The structure of the central region of silicon nanoparticles is studied in detail by constructing...
