Structural relaxation of polydisperse hard spheres: comparison of the mode-coupling theory to a Langevin dynamics simulation.
We analyze the slow glassy structural relaxation as measured through collective and tagged-particle density correlation functions obtained from Brownian dynamics simulations for a polydisperse system of quasi-hard spheres in the framework of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the glass transition. Asymptotic analyses show good agreement for the collective dynamics when polydispersity effects are...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics of a dense fluid of polydisperse hard spheres
Slow dynamics in a fluid are studied in one of the most basic systems possible: polydisperse hard spheres. Monodisperse hard spheres cannot be studied as the slow down in dynamics as the density is increased is preempted by crystallisation. As the dynamics slow they become more heterogeneous, the spread in the distances traveled by different particles in the same time increases. However, the dy...
متن کاملRelaxation in a glassy binary mixture: comparison of the mode-coupling theory to a Brownian dynamics simulation.
We solved the mode-coupling equations for the Kob-Andersen binary mixture using structure factors calculated from Brownian dynamics simulations of the same system. We found, as was previously observed, that the mode-coupling temperature T(c) inferred from simulations is about two times greater than that predicted by the theory. However, we find that many time-dependent quantities agree reasonab...
متن کاملFreezing of polydisperse hard spheres
Freezing of polydisperse hard spheres is studied by Monte Carlo simulation and the results are interpreted with a cell model of the solid. The results supplement an earlier study of freezing of nearly monodisperse hard spheres and, within the assumption of a substitutionally disordered solid, a complete description of the freezing behavior is obtained. The density and polydispersity of the prec...
