Equilibrium ultrastable glasses produced by random pinning.
Ultrastable glasses have risen to prominence due to their potentially useful material properties and the tantalizing possibility of a general method of preparation via vapor deposition. Despite the importance of this novel class of amorphous materials, numerical studies have been scarce because achieving ultrastability in atomistic simulations is an enormous challenge. Here, we bypass this diff...
متن کاملManifestation of random first-order transition theory in Wigner glasses.
We use Brownian dynamics simulations of a binary mixture of highly charged spherical colloidal particles to test some of the predictions of the random first-order transition (RFOT) theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 58, 2091 (1987); Phys. Rev. A 40, 1045 (1989)]. In accord with mode-coupling theory and RFOT, we find that as the volume fraction of the colloidal particles ϕ approaches the dynamical transit...
متن کاملUniversal amorphous-amorphous transition in GexSe100−x glasses under pressure
Pressure induced structural modifications in vitreous GexSe100-x (where 10 ≤ x ≤ 25) are investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) along with supplementary X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. Universal changes in distances and angle distributions are observed when scaled to reduced densities. All compositions are observed to rema...
متن کاملAmorphous to amorphous insulator-metal transition in GeSe3:Ag glasses
We study an insulator-metal transition in a ternary chalcogenide glass (GeSe3)1−xAgx for x = 0.15 and 0.25. The conducting phase of the glass is obtained by using gap sculpting [Prasai et al., Sci. Rep. 5, 15522 (2015)] and it is observed that the metallic and insulating phases have nearly identical density functional energies but have a conductivity contrast of ∼108. As such, we demonstrate an...
متن کاملIdeal 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...
