Logarithmic decay in a two-component model

Soft Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

The correlation functions near higher-order glass-transition singularities are discussed for a schematic two-component model within the mode-coupling theory for ideal glass-transitions. The correlators decay in leading order like ln(t/τ)-\ln(t/\tau) and the leading correction introduces characteristic convex and concave patterns in the decay curves. The time scale τ\tau follows a Vogel-Fulcher type law close to the higher-order singularities.
