Overlap fluctuations in glass-forming liquids.
We analyze numerically thermal fluctuations of the static overlap between equilibrium configurations in a glass-forming liquid approaching the glass transition. We find that the emergence of slow dynamics near the onset temperature correlates with the development of non-Gaussian probability distributions of overlap fluctuations, measured using both annealed and quenched definitions. Below a cri...
متن کاملViscosity of glass-forming liquids.
The low-temperature dynamics of ultraviscous liquids hold the key to understanding the nature of glass transition and relaxation phenomena, including the potential existence of an ideal thermodynamic glass transition. Unfortunately, existing viscosity models, such as the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) and Avramov-Milchev (AM) equations, exhibit systematic error when extrapolating to low temperatur...
متن کاملThermoviscoelasticity of glass-forming liquids
In supercooled liquids structural relaxation shows up as a frequency dependence of mechanical and thermal properties such as the adiabatic bulk modulus, Ks, shear modulus, G, expansion coecient, ap, and isobaric speci®c heat, cp. Whereas Ks and G can be measured directly, we claim this is dicult for cp. Near the glass transition where cp diers signi®cantly from the isochoric speci®c heat, cv...
متن کاملInvestigation of Cavitation in Glass- Forming Liquids
In an effort to better understand the source of toughness in metallic glass, we have investigated cavitation in glass-forming liquids. When subjected to negative hydrostatic pressure, a liquid will reduce its energy through the formation of a cavity. This phenomenon is the competing process to shear band growth and the development of a large plastic zone, which we have identified as the crucial...
متن کاملEfficient measurement of point-to-set correlations and overlap fluctuations in glass-forming liquids.
Cavity point-to-set correlations are real-space tools to detect the roughening of the free-energy landscape that accompanies the dynamical slowdown of glass-forming liquids. Measuring these correlations in model glass formers remains, however, a major computational challenge. Here, we develop a general parallel-tempering method that provides orders-of-magnitude improvement for sampling and equi...
