The role of local structure in dynamical arrest
CP Royall, SR Williams - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

Growing length scales and their relation to timescales in glass-forming liquids
The question of whether the dramatic slowing down of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids
near the structural glass transition is caused by the growth of one or more correlation lengths …

Perspective: The glass transition
G Biroli, JP Garrahan - The Journal of chemical physics, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
We provide here a brief perspective on the glass transition field. It is an assessment, written
from the point of view of theory, of where the field is and where it seems to be heading. We …

Predicting dynamic heterogeneity in glass-forming liquids by physics-inspired machine learning
We introduce GlassMLP, a machine learning framework using physics-inspired structural
input to predict the long-time dynamics in deeply supercooled liquids. We apply this deep …

Identification of structure in condensed matter with the topological cluster classification
We describe the topological cluster classification (TCC) algorithm. The TCC detects local
structures with bond topologies similar to isolated clusters which minimise the potential …

Crystal nucleation as the ordering of multiple order parameters
Nucleation is an activated process in which the system has to overcome a free energy
barrier in order for a first-order phase transition between the metastable and the stable …
