Abstract
The fragility, that controls the temperature-dependent viscous properties of liquids as the glass transition is approached, in various glass-forming liquids with different atomic interactions and densities is investigated by molecular dynamic simulations. We show the landscape of fragility in purely repulsive systems can be separated into three regions with qualitatively disparate dynamic behaviors, suggesting that the density plays an unexpected role for understanding the repulsive steepness dependence of fragility. Furthermore, the vastly dissimilar influences of attractive interaction on fragility could be estimated from the structural properties of related zero-temperature glasses
