[HTML][HTML] Excess-entropy scaling in supercooled binary mixtures

IH Bell, JC Dyre, TS Ingebrigtsen - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Transport coefficients, such as viscosity or diffusion coefficient, show significant dependence
on density or temperature near the glass transition. Although several theories have been …

Polymer glass formation: Role of activation free energy, configurational entropy, and collective motion

WS Xu, JF Douglas, ZY Sun - Macromolecules, 2021 - ACS Publications
We provide a perspective on polymer glass formation, with an emphasis on models in which
the fluid entropy and collective particle motion dominate the theoretical description and data …

Rethinking Mean-Field Glassy Dynamics and Its Relation with the Energy Landscape: The Surprising Case of the Spherical Mixed -Spin Model

G Folena, S Franz, F Ricci-Tersenghi - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
The spherical p-spin model is a fundamental model in statistical mechanics of a disordered
system with a random first-order transition. The dynamics of this model is interesting both for …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamic heterogeneity, cooperative motion, and Johari–Goldstein -relaxation in a metallic glass-forming material exhibiting a fragile-to-strong transition

H Zhang, X Wang, HB Yu, JF Douglas - The European Physical Journal E, 2021 - Springer
Abstract We investigate the Johari–Goldstein (JG) β β-relaxation process in a model metallic
glass-forming (GF) material (Al _ 90 Sm _ 10 Al 90 Sm 10), previously studied extensively by …

Attractive versus truncated repulsive supercooled liquids: The dynamics is encoded in the pair correlation function

FP Landes, G Biroli, O Dauchot, AJ Liu, DR Reichman - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
We compare glassy dynamics in two liquids that differ in the form of their interaction
potentials. Both systems have the same repulsive interactions but one has also an attractive …

A comparative study of the correlation between the structure and the dynamics for systems interacting via attractive and repulsive potentials

M Sharma, MK Nandi… - The Journal of Chemical …, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
We present the study of the structure–dynamics correlation for systems interacting via
attractive Lennard-Jones (LJ) and its repulsive counterpart, the Weeks–Chandler–Andersen …

Microscopic theory of softness in supercooled liquids

MK Nandi, SM Bhattacharyya - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We introduce a new measure of the structure of a liquid which is the softness of the mean-
field potential developed by us earlier. We find that this softness is sensitive to small …

[HTML][HTML] Diffusion in dense supercritical methane from quasi-elastic neutron scattering measurements

U Ranieri, S Klotz, R Gaal, MM Koza… - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Methane, the principal component of natural gas, is an important energy source and raw
material for chemical reactions. It also plays a significant role in planetary physics, being one …

Mechanical disorder of sticky-sphere glasses. II. Thermomechanical inannealability

K González-López, M Shivam, Y Zheng, MP Ciamarra… - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
Many structural glasses feature static and dynamic mechanical properties that can depend
strongly on glass formation history. The degree of universality of this history dependence …

Role of attractive forces in the relaxation dynamics of supercooled liquids

J Chattoraj, MP Ciamarra - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The attractive tail of the intermolecular interaction affects very weakly the structural
properties of liquids, while it affects dramatically their dynamical ones. Via the numerical …
