Mode-coupling approximations, glass theory and disordered systems

چکیده
We discuss the general link between mode-coupling like equations (which serve as the basis of some recent theories of supercooled liquids) and the dynamical equations governing mean-field spin-glass models, or the dynamics of a particle in a random potential. The physical consequences of this interrelation are underlined. It suggests to extend the mode-coupling approximation to temperatures well below the freezing temperature, in which aging effects become important. In this regime we suggest some new experiments in order to test a non-trivial prediction of the Mode-Coupling picture, which is a generalized relation between the short (/3) and long (c~) time regimes.

متن کاملDiffusive Dynamicsof Binary Lennard-Jones Liquid in the Presence of Gold Nanoparticle: A Mode Coupling Theory Analysis
Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of Kob-Anderson binary Lennard-Jones (BLJ) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. The presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...
متن کاملNonlinear microrheology of dense colloidal suspensions: A mode-coupling theory
A mode-coupling theory for the motion of a strongly forced probe particle in a dense colloidal suspension is presented. Starting point is the Smoluchowski equation forN bath and a single probe particle. The probe performs Brownian motion under the influence of a strong constant and uniform external forceFex. It is immersed in a dense homogeneous bath of (different) particles also performing Bro...
متن کاملMode Coupling Relaxation Scenario in a Confined Glass Former
– Molecular dynamics simulations of a Lennard-Jones binary mixture confined in a disordered array of soft spheres are presented. The single particle dynamical behavior of the glass former is examined upon supercooling. Predictions of mode coupling theory are satisfied by the confined liquid. Estimates of the crossover temperature are obtained by power law fit to the diffusion coefficients and r...
متن کاملExactly solvable toy model that mimics the mode coupling theory of supercooled liquid and glass transition.
A toy model is proposed which incorporates the reversible mode coupling mechanism responsible for ergodic-nonergodic transition of the mode coupling theory (MCT) of structural glass transition with trivial Hamiltonian. The model can be analyzed without relying on uncontrolled approximations inevitable in the current MCT. The strength of hopping processes can be easily tuned and the ideal glass ...
