Animations of typical relaxation events in a model of tetrahedral network liquid:

movie1.mpg (left figure; 1.4 MB): Four particles (indicated by arrows in the figure) perform a correlated, rotational motion in neighbouring tetrahedra.
movie2.mpg (right figure; 1.7 MB): The central particle (indicated by an arrow in the figure) explores its low density environment with a sequence of two jumps, associated with bond breaking and reformation.
