Computer simulations of glasses: the potential energy landscape.
We review the current state of research on glasses, discussing the theoretical background and computational models employed to describe them. This article focuses on the use of the potential energy landscape (PEL) paradigm to account for the phenomenology of glassy systems, and the way in which it can be applied in simulations and the interpretation of their results. This article provides a bro...
متن کاملComputer Simulations of Supercooled Liquids and Glasses
After a brief introduction to the dynamics of supercooled liquids, we discuss some of the advantages and drawbacks of computer simulations of such systems. Subsequently we present the results of computer simulations in which the dynamics of a fragile glass former, a binary Lennard-Jones system, is compared to the one of a strong glass former, SiO2. This comparison gives evidence that the reason...
متن کاملCertifying the Potential Energy Landscape
It is highly desirable for numerical approximations to stationary points for a potential energy landscape to lie in the corresponding quadratic convergence basin. However, it is possible that an approximation may lie only in the linear convergence basin, or even in a chaotic region, and hence not converge to the actual stationary point when further optimization is attempted. Proving that a nume...
متن کاملUtility of computer simulations in landscape genetics.
Population genetics theory is primarily based on mathematical models in which spatial complexity and temporal variability are largely ignored. In contrast, the field of landscape genetics expressly focuses on how population genetic processes are affected by complex spatial and temporal environmental heterogeneity. It is spatially explicit and relates patterns to processes by combining complex a...
متن کاملPotential energy landscape of finite-size mean-field models for glasses
– We analyze the properties of the energy landscape of finite-size fully connected spin-glass models with a discontinuous transition. In the thermodynamic limit the equilibrium properties in the high-temperature phase are described by the schematic mode coupling theory of super-cooled liquids. We show that finite-size fully connected spin-glass models do exhibit properties typical of Lennard-Jo...
