The excitation-chain theory of the glass transition, proposed in an earlier publication, predicts diverging, super-Arrhenius relaxation times and, {\it via} a similarly diverging length scale, suggests a way of understanding the relations…

Some aspects of how sound waves travel through disordered solids are still unclear. Recent work has characterized a feature of disordered solids which seems to influence vibrational excitations at the mesoscales, local elastic…

If a liquid is cooled rapidly to form a glass, its structural relaxation becomes retarded, producing a drastic increase in viscosity. In two dimensions, strong long-wavelength fluctuations persist, even at low temperature, making it…

We study by Molecular Dynamics simulation the slowing down of particle motion in a two-dimensional monatomic model: a Lennard-Jones liquid on the hyperbolic plane. The negative curvature of the embedding space frustrates the long-range…

The diffusivity of tagged particles is demonstrated to be heterogeneous on time scales comparable to or less than the structural relaxation time %taking place at the interparticle distance in a highly supercooled liquid via 3D molecular…

We attempt to give a bird's eye view of the physical mechanisms leading to anomalous relaxation, and the relation of this phenomenon with anomalous diffusion and transport. Whereas in some cases these two notions are indeed deeply related,…

We present the results of a Molecular Dynamics computer simulation of a binary Lennard-Jones liquid confined in a narrow pore. The surface of the pore has an amorphous structure similar to that of the confined liquid. We find that the…

Transparent glass ceramic materials, with microstructures comprised of dispersed nanocrystallites in a residual glass matrix, offer the prospect of nonlinear optical properties. However, good transparency requires low optical scattering and…

Using Monte Carlo simulations we show that the autocorrelation function $C(t)$ in the d=3 Ising model with a plaquette interaction has a stretched-exponential decay in a supercooled liquid phase. Such a decay characterizes also some…

The relaxation of the specific heat and the entropy to their equilibrium values is investigated numerically for the three-dimensional Coulomb glass at very low temperatures. The long time relaxation follows a stretched exponential function,…

We present a systematic study of dynamical heterogeneity in a model for permanent gels, upon approaching the gelation threshold. We find that the fluctuations of the self intermediate scattering function are increasing functions of time,…

Molecular dynamics computer simulations of a binary Lennard-Jones glass under shear are presented. The mechanical response of glassy states having different thermal histories is investigated by imposing a wide range of external shear rates,…

We have measured depolarized light scattering in liquid benzene over the whole accessible temperature range and over four decades in frequency. Between 40 and 180 GHz we find a susceptibility peak due to structural relaxation. This peak…

The dynamics of dislocations is reported to exhibit glassy properties. We study numerically various versions of 2d edge dislocation systems in the absence of externally applied stress. Two types of glassy behavior are identified: (i)…

We propose a computational strategy to quantify the temperature evolution of the timescales and lengthscales over which dynamic facilitation affects the relaxation dynamics of glass-forming liquids at low temperatures, that requires no…

Using a general model for the equilibrium dynamics of supercooled liquids, I compute from molecular properties the emergent length and time scales that govern the nonequilibrium relaxation behavior of amorphous ice prepared by rapid…

The motion of molecules on solid surfaces is of interest for technological applications, but it is also a theoretical challenge. We study the deterministic and thermal diffusive dynamics of a dimer moving on a periodic substrate. The…

We study heterogeneities in a binary Lennard-Jones system below the glass transition using molecular dynamics simulations. We identify mobile and immobile particles and measure their distribution of vibrational amplitudes. For temperatures…

We study the growing time scales and length scales associated with dynamical slow down for a realistic glass former, using computer simulations. We perform finite size scaling to evaluate a length scale associated with dynamical…

We show that the dynamics of disordered charge density waves (CDWs) and spin density waves (SDWs) is a collective phenomenon. The very low temperature specific heat relaxation experiments are characterized by: (i) ``interrupted'' ageing…
