A unified picture of the dynamics of supercooled liquids has emerged based on a theory of
random first-order transitions RFOTs. 1–3 The mean field approaches to structural glasses …

A statistical mechanical theory of collective dynamic barriers, slow segmental relaxation, and
the glass transition of polymer melts is developed by combining, and in some aspects …

Liquids are often assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic at any lengthscale and
translationally invariant. The standard liquid-state theory is constructed on the basis of this …

The random first-order transition theory of the structural glass transition is reviewed in a
pedagogical fashion. The rigidity that emerges in crystals and glassy liquids is of the same …

Extensive Monte Carlo simulation results for the pair and triplet direct correlation functions of
the one‐component, hard‐sphere system near freezing are presented. These results are in …

This book, Perturbation Theories for the Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids and Solids,
provides a comprehensive review of current perturbation theories—as well as integral …

We compare dynamical heterogeneities in equilibrated supercooled liquids and in the
nonequilibrium glassy state within the framework of the random first order transition theory …

Thermodynamics and kinetics are thought to be linked in glass transitions. The quantitative
predictions of α-relaxation activation barriers provided by the theory of glasses based on …

We present a systematic derivation of a coarse grained (CG) model for molecular dynamics
(MD) simulations of a liquid crystalline (LC) compound containing an azobenzene mesogen …

Recently we proposed a two-order-parameter model of liquid to understand the liquid–glass
transition, liquid–liquid transition, and anomalies of water-type liquids in a unified manner …
