Abstract
By employing computer simulations for a model binary mixture, we show that a reentrant glass transition upon adding a second component only occurs if the ratio of the short-time mobilities between the glass-forming component and the additive is sufficiently small. For , there is no reentrant glass, even if the size asymmetry between the two components is large, in accordance with two-component mode coupling theory. For , on the other hand, the reentrant glass is observed and reproduced only by an effective one-component mode coupling theory.
