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 …

First-order dynamical phase transition in models of glasses: an approach based on ensembles of histories
We investigate the dynamics of kinetically constrained models of glass formers by analysing
the statistics of trajectories of the dynamics, or histories, using large deviation function …

Transport properties of glass-forming liquids suggest that dynamic crossover temperature is as important as the glass transition temperature
It is becoming common practice to partition glass-forming liquids into two classes based on
the dependence of the shear viscosity η on temperature T. In an Arrhenius plot, ln η vs 1/T, a …

Quantum slow relaxation and metastability due to dynamical constraints
One of the general mechanisms that give rise to the slow cooperative relaxation
characteristic of classical glasses is the presence of kinetic constraints in the dynamics. Here …
