Abstract:

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 functions to become shorter with respect to the bulk binary Lennard-Jones liquid. It is found that the dynamics of the liquid at a given density is consistent with the mode coupling theory (MCT) predictions. In accordance with the idealized MCT, the diffusion constants D(T) show power-law behavior at low temperatures for both types of BLJ particles as well as the 13 gold atoms comprising the nanoparticle. The mode coupling crossover temperature T_c is the same for all particle types, however, T_c= 0.4 is reduced with respect to that of the bulk BLJ liquid and the exponent is found to depend on the particle type. The existence of the nanoparticle causes the β-relaxation regime to shorten and the range of validity of the MCT shrink with respect to the bulk BLJ. It is also found that the behavior of intermediate scattering function is in agreement with MCT prediction and in spite of the presence of gold nanoparticle the time temperature superposition principle at intermediate and low temperatures is still valid and the curves of ISF versus t/τ (T) fall onto a master curve.

Lennard-Jones binary mixture in disordered matrices: exploring the mode coupling scenario at increasing confinement.

We present results of molecular dynamics simulations performed on a Lennard-Jones liquid binary mixture confined in matrices of soft spheres at increasing packing fraction. We study the dynamical properties of the liquid at a given density upon supercooling. Our aim is to test the validity of the mode coupling theory in predicting the behaviour of the glass forming liquid when it is under confi...

Testing mode-coupling theory for a supercooled binary Lennard-Jones mixture I: The van Hove correlation function.

We report the results of a large scale computer simulation of a binary supercooled Lennard-Jones liquid. We find that at low temperatures the curves for the mean squared displacement of a tagged particle for different temperatures fall onto a master curve when they are plotted versus rescaled time tD(T ), where D(T ) is the diffusion constant. The time range for which these curves follow the ma...

Testing mode-coupling theory for a supercooled binary Lennard-Jones mixture. II. Intermediate scattering function and dynamic susceptibility.

We have performed a molecular dynamics computer simulation of a supercooled binary Lennard-Jones system in order to compare the dynamical behavior of this system with the predictions of the idealized version of modecoupling theory (MCT). By scaling the time t by the temperature dependent α-relaxation time τ(T ), we find that in the α-relaxation regime F (q, t) and Fs(q, t), the coherent and inc...
