Dynamic phase coexistence in glass–forming liquids
One of the most controversial hypotheses for explaining the heterogeneous dynamics of glasses postulates the temporary coexistence of two phases characterized by a high and by a low diffusivity. In this scenario, two phases with different diffusivities coexist for a time of the order of the relaxation time and mix afterwards. Unfortunately, it is difficult to measure the single-particle diffusi...
متن کاملDynamic criticality in glass-forming liquids.
We propose that the dynamics of supercooled liquids and the formation of glasses can be understood from the existence of a zero-temperature dynamical critical point. To support our proposal, we derive a dynamic field theory for a generic kinetically constrained model, which we expect to describe the dynamics of a supercooled liquid. We study this field theory using the renormalization group (RG...
متن کاملExamination of dynamic facilitation in molecular dynamics simulations of glass-forming liquids.
Using data from molecular dynamics computer simulations of the one-component Dzugutov liquid and of BKS silica in metastable equilibrium supercooled states, we examine ideas introduced by Garrahan and Chandler (GC) in their dynamic facilitation (DF) model of the glass transition. Utilizing a recently introduced measure of DF, we find that DF is important for particle motion in both the supercoo...
متن کاملShort time dynamics of glass-forming liquids
Calculations have been presented for the intermediate scattering function, dynamic structure factor, and dynamic susceptibility of a complex correlated system undergoing relaxation with independent vibrations. The vibrational contribution was approximated by a Debye spectrum, smoothed at high frequency, while the coupling model was used to describe the relaxation. This model asserts for nonpoly...
متن کاملMultiple time scales hidden in heterogeneous dynamics of glass-forming liquids.
A multitime probing of density fluctuations is introduced to investigate hidden time scales of heterogeneous dynamics in glass-forming liquids. Molecular-dynamics simulations for simple glass-forming liquids are performed and a three-time correlation function is numerically calculated for general time intervals. It is demonstrated that the three-time correlation function is sensitive to the het...
