Abstract
We study by computer simulation an amorphous solid modeled as a percol ating cluster of atoms on the fee lattice. The atoms interact by neare st neighbor Lennard-Jones pair potentials. In contrast to past simulat ion efforts, the present simulation allows for full three-dimensional motion of the atoms, and exhibits results for the thermal conductivity and density of states of the vibrational modes which differ from prev ious simulation results.
