We numerically investigate slow dynamics of a binary mixture of ultrasoft particles interacting with the generalized Hertzian potential. If the softness parameter, $\alpha$, is small, the particles at high densities start penetrating each…

In order to describe the slow response of a glass former we discuss some distribution of correlation times, e.g., the generalized gamma distribution (GG) and an extension thereof (GGE), the latter allowing to reproduce a simple peak…

Boson peak dynamics in glasses produce a robust crossover in the terahertz (THz) dielectric response that standard Debye or Lorentz models do not capture. We develop a continuum description of this THz response, coupling an…

Glasses possess more low-frequency vibrational modes than predicted by Debye theory. These excess modes are crucial for the understanding the low temperature thermal and mechanical properties of glasses, which differ from those of…

The elusive connection between dynamics and local structure in supercooled liquids is an important piece of the puzzle in the unsolved problem of the glass transition. The Johari-Goldstein beta relaxation, ubiquitous in glass-forming…

In the vicinity of the glass transition, the characteristic relaxation time (e.g., the alpha-relaxation time in dielectric spectroscopy) of a glass-former exhibits a strongly super-Arrhenius temperature dependence, as compared to the…

Hierarchical dynamics in glass-forming systems span multiple timescales, from fast vibrations to slow structural rearrangements, appearing in both supercooled fluids and glassy states. Understanding how these diverse processes interact…

Molecular dynamics simulations of a Lennard-Jones binary mixture confined in a disordered array of soft spheres are presented. The single particle dynamical behavior of the glass former is examined upon supercooling. Predictions of mode…

Transmission electron microscopy is an excellent experimental tool to study the interaction of free electrons with nanoscale light fields. However, up to now, applying electron microscopy to quantum optical investigations was hampered by…

Using Inelastic X-ray Scattering we studied the collective dynamics of the glassy alloy Ni$_{33}$Zr$_{67}$ in the first pseudo Brillouin zone, an energy-momentum region still unexplored in metallic glasses. We determine key properties such…

The frequency and temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and the electrical conductivity of the transparent glasses in the composition Li2O-3B2O3 (LBO) were investigated in the 100 Hz- 10 MHz frequency range. The dielectric…

New metallic glasses containing La or Ce have been introduced that have dynamic properties bordering on extremes of conventional metallic glasses. This provides opportunity to test trends or correlations established before in molecular and…

We compute the dielectric response of glasses starting from a microscopic system-bath Hamiltonian of the Zwanzig-Caldeira-Leggett type and using an ansatz from kinetic theory for the memory function in the resulting Generalized Langevin…

An analysis of the glass transition of four materials with similar chemical structures is performed: PET, PEN and two PET/PEN blends (90/10 and 70/30 w/w). During the melt processing of the blends transesterification reactions yield block…

We present the results of aging experiments on a variety of glass formers, including xylitol, glycerol, propylene carbonate, and [Ca(NO3)2]0.4[KNO3]0.6 (CKN). In addition, broadband dielectric spectra of xylitol and CKN are provided. We…

We examine a length scale that characterizes the spatial extent of heterogeneous dynamics in a glass-forming binary hard-sphere mixture up to the mode-coupling volume fraction phi_c. First, we characterize the system's dynamics. Then, we…

We report an analytical study of the vibrational spectrum of the simplest model of jamming, the soft perceptron. We identify two distinct classes of soft modes. The first kind of modes are related to isostaticity and appear only in the…

We report a thorough dielectric characterization of the alpha relaxation of glass forming glycerol with varying additions of LiCl. Nine salt concentrations from 0.1 - 20 mol% are investigated in a frequency range of 20 Hz - 3 GHz and…

Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (1 Hz - 20 GHz) has been performed on supercooled glass-formers from the temperature of glass transition (T_g) up to that of melting. Precise measurements particularly in the frequencies of MHz-order have…

We study the interaction of the relaxation processes with the density fluctuations by molecular dynamics simulation of a flexible molecule model for o-terphenyl (oTP) in the liquid and supercooled phases. We find evidence, besides the…
