Different Scenarios for Critical Glassy Dynamics

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v2 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We study the role of different terms in the NN-body potential of glass forming systems on the critical dynamics near the glass transition. Using a simplified spin model with quenched disorder, where the different terms of the real NN-body potential are mapped into multi-spin interactions, we identified three possible scenarios. For each scenario we introduce a ``minimal'' model representative of the critical glassy dynamics near, both above and below, the critical transition lin e. For each ``minimal'' model we discuss the low temperature equilibrium dynamics.
