Connections between the static density-functional theory of the glass transition and the
dynamic mode-coupling theory of the glass transition are discussed. In three dimensions …

Mode-coupling theory is an approach to the study of complex behavior in the supercooled
liquids which developed from the idea of a nonlinear feedback mechanism. From the …

The mathematical structure of the dynamical theory for the soft-spin version of the p-spin-
interaction (p> 2) spin-glass model is related to that for the dynamical theories of the …

The mode-coupling theory of the glass transition recently presented by Leutheusser is
generalized so that some of the important wave-number dependence neglected in his theory …

Dedication Five years ago, preliminary light scattering studies in our laboratory of the mixed-
salt glassforming material CKN (calcium potassium nitrate) revealed spectral structure and …

The free-volume model, which has been useful for describing the behavior of the viscosity η
of dense liquids and glasses, is extended to account for their thermodynamic behavior as …

In this set of lecture notes we review the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition from
several perspectives. First, we derive mode-coupling equations for the description of density …

Using a molecular-dynamics computer simulation we determine the temperature
dependence of the partial structure factors for a binary Lennard-Jones system. These …

Glass-transition phenomena have a long history of study. The well-accepted qualitative
understanding of glass transition is as follows: 1–8 With approaching a glass-transition …

The liquid-glass transition has been intensively studied for many years. Despite the many
papers on the subject, both experimental and theoretical, there is still no clear …
