Ideal glass transitions by random pinning.
We study the effect of freezing the positions of a fraction c of particles from an equilibrium configuration of a supercooled liquid at a temperature T. We show that within the random first-order transition theory pinning particles leads to an ideal glass transition for a critical fraction c = c(K)(T) even for moderate supercooling; e.g., close to the Mode-Coupling transition temperature. First...
متن کاملThe ideal glass transition of hard spheres.
We use the replica method to study the ideal glass transition of a liquid of identical hard spheres. We obtain estimates of the configurational entropy in the liquid phase, of the Kauzmann packing fraction phi(K), in the range of 0.58-0.62, and of the random close packing density phi(c), in the range of 0.64-0.67, depending on the approximation we use for the equation of state of the liquid. We...
متن کاملGlass transitions in quasi-two-dimensional suspensions of colloidal ellipsoids.
We observed a two-step glass transition in monolayers of colloidal ellipsoids by video microscopy. The glass transition in the rotational degree of freedom was at a lower density than that in the translational degree of freedom. Between the two transitions, ellipsoids formed an orientational glass. Approaching the respective glass transitions, the rotational and translational fastest-moving par...
متن کاملDo binary hard disks exhibit an ideal glass transition?
We demonstrate that there is no ideal glass transition in a binary hard-disk mixture by explicitly constructing an exponential number of jammed packings with densities spanning the spectrum from the accepted amorphous glassy state to the phase-separated crystal. Thus the configurational entropy cannot be zero for an ideal amorphous glass, presumed distinct from the crystal in numerous theoretic...
متن کاملIdeal glass transitions in thin films: An energy landscape perspective
Thomas M. Truskett & Venkat Ganesan Department of Chemical Engineering and Institute for Theoretical Chemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712. Abstract We introduce a mean-field model for the potential energy landscape of a thin fluid film confined between parallel substrates. The model predicts how the number of accessible basins on the energy landscape and, consequently,...
