Structure and dynamics of a glass-forming binary complex plasma with non-reciprocal interaction
Abstract
In this letter, we present the first numerical study on the structural and dynamical properties of a quasi-two-dimensional (q2D) binary complex plasma with Langevin dynamics simulation. The effect of interaction with non-reciprocity on the structure is investigated by comparing systems with pure Yukawa and with point-wake Yukawa interactions. The long-time alpha-relaxation for the latter system is revealed by plotting and analyzing the intermediate scattering function. The results clearly indicate that a q2D binary complex plasma is a suitable model system to study the dynamics of a glass former. The non-reciprocity of the interactions shifts the glass formation significantly but leads to the same qualitative signatures as in the reciprocal case.
