For several atomistic models of glass formers, at conditions below their glassy dynamics onset temperatures, ${T_\mathrm{o}}$, we use importance sampling of trajectory space to study the structure, statistics and dynamics of excitations…
A recently proposed expression to describe the temperature and volume dependences of the structural (or alpha) relaxation time is discussed. This equation satisfies the scaling law for the relaxation times, tau = f(TV^g), where T is…
The variation with respect to temperature T of transport properties of 58 fragile structural glass forming liquids (68 data sets in total) are analyzed and shown to exhibit a remarkable degree of universality. In particular, super-Arrhenius…
Using two extremely different models of glass formers in two and three dimensions we demonstrate how to encode the subtle changes in the geometric rearrangement of particles during the scenario of the glass transition. We construct a…
Glass-forming liquids have only a modest tendency to crystallize and hence their dynamics can be studied even below the melting temperature. The relaxation dynamics of most of these liquids shows at a temperature $T_c$, somewhat above the…
Analysis of temperature dependence of structural relaxation time in supercooled liquids revealed a qualitatively distinct feature - a sharp, cusp-like maxumum in the second derivative of its logarithm. It suggests that the super-Arrhenius…
In the context of a classical example of glass-formation in 3-dimensions we exemplify how to construct a statistical mechanical theory of the glass transition. At the heart of the approach is a simple criterion for verifying a proper choice…
This review deals with the kinetic and thermodynamic fragility of bulk metallic glass forming liquids. The experimental methods to determine the kinetic fragility, relaxation behavior and thermodynamic functions of undercooled metallic…
We study the nature of the glass transition by cooling model atomistic glass formers at constant rate from a temperature above the onset of glassy dynamics to $T=0$. Motivated by the East model, a kinetically constrained lattice model with…
Extensive computer simulations are performed for a few model glass-forming liquids in both two and three dimensions to study their dynamics when a randomly chosen fraction of particles are frozen in their equilibrium positions. For all the…
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…
In the mode coupling theory of the liquid to glass transition the long time structural relaxation follows from equations solely determined by equilibrium structural parameters. The present extension of these structural relaxation equations…
It was shown recently that the structural alpha-relaxation time tau of supercooled o-terphenyl depends on a single control parameter Gamma, which is the product of a function of density E(ro), by the inverse temperature T -1. We extend this…
The interplay between the structural relaxation and the rheological response of a binary LJ glass former is studied via MD simulations. In the quiescent state, the model is well known for its sluggish dynamics and a two step relaxation of…
Framing the glass formation within standard statistical mechanics is an outstanding problem of condensed matter theory. To provide new insight, we investigate the structural properties of the Lennard-Jones fluid in the very-low temperature…
In this paper we develop a theory to calculate the structural relaxation time {\tau} {\alpha} of fragile su percooled liquids. Using the information of the configurational entropy and structure we calculate the number of dynamically free,…
In stark contrast with the conventional understanding of the glass transition, where the transition from glass to liquid appears as a dynamic process where atoms/molecules cooperatively relax into the equilibrium phase, we experimentally…
When liquids are cooled rapidly, they bypass crystallization and instead enter a supercooled state and then a glass state. Previous studies have shown that the static structure factors of high-temperature liquids, supercooled liquids, and…
Classification of glass-forming liquids based on the dramatic change in their properties upon approach to the glassy state is appealing, since this is the most conspicuous and often-studied aspect of the glass transition. Herein, we show…
Soft glassy materials are out of thermodynamic equilibrium and show time dependent slowing down of the relaxation dynamics. Under such situation these materials follow Boltzmann superposition principle only in the effective time domain,…
