Relaxation processes significantly influence the properties of glass materials. However, understanding their specific origins is difficult, even more challenging is to forecast them theoretically. In this study, using microseconds molecular…
A comparative study of the dynamics of inherent structures at low temperatures is performed on different models of glass formers: a three dimensional Lennard-Jones binary mixture (LJBM), facilitated spin models (either symmetrically…
We introduce a lattice spin model where frustration is due to multibody interactions rather than quenched disorder in the Hamiltonian. The system has a crystalline ground state and below the melting temperature displays a dynamic behaviour…
By combining aspects of the coherent and self intermediate scattering functions, measured by dynamical light scattering on a suspension of hard sphere-like particles, we show that the arrest of particle number density fluctuations spreads…
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…
Numerical simulations on Ising Spin Glasses show that spin glass transitions do not obey the usual universality rules which hold at canonical second order transitions. On the other hand the dynamics at the approach to the transition appear…
We study by molecular dynamics computer simulation a binary soft-sphere mixture that shows a pronounced decoupling of the species' long-time dynamics. Anomalous, power-law-like diffusion of small particles arises, that can be understood as…
We have analyzed a non-randomly frustrated spin model which exhibits behavior remarkably similar to the phenomenology of structural glasses. The high-temperature disordered phase undergoes a strong first-order transition to a long-range…
The dynamical properties of the site frustrated percolation model are investigated and compared with those of glass forming liquids. When the density of the particles on the lattice becomes high enough, the dynamics of the model becomes…
We study the dynamics of a tagged particle in a glassy system under shear. The recently developed integration through transients approach based on mode coupling theory, is continued to arrive at the equations for the tagged particle…
The standard model of glasses is an ensemble of two-level systems interacting with a thermal bath. The general origin of memory effects in this model is a quasi-stationary but non-equilibrium state of a single two-level system, which is…
We use a continuous mesoscopic model to address the yielding properties of plastic composites, formed by a host material and inclusions with different elastic and/or plastic properties. We investigate the flow properties of the composed…
To enable the study of criticality in multicomponent fluids, the standard spherical model is generalized to describe an $\ns$-species hard core lattice gas. On introducing $\ns$ spherical constraints, the free energy may be expressed…
Glassy systems are disordered systems characterized by extremely slow dynamics. Examples are supercooled liquids, whose dynamics slow down under cooling. The specific pattern of slowing-down depends on the material considered. This…
The fast changing reality in technical and natural domains perceived by always more accurate observations has drawn attention on new and very broad class of systems with specific behaviour represented under the common wording complexity.…
The dynamics of glassy materials slows down upon cooling, typically showing either Arrhenius or super-Arrhenius behavior. However, it was recently shown that 2D cell-based models for biological tissues can be continuously tuned between…
We analyze a simple dynamical model of glasses, based on the idea that each particle is trapped in a local potential well, which itself evolves due to hopping of neighbouring particles. The glass transition is signalled by the fact that the…
The liquid structure of a glass-forming binary alloy is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The analysis combines common neighbour analysis with the geometrical approach of Frank and Kasper to establish that the supercooled liquid…
Supercooled liquid and glassy acetyl salicylic acid was studied using dielectric spectroscopy and deuteron relaxometry in a wide temperature range. The supercooled liquid is characterized by major deviations from thermally activated…
We perform large scale simulations of the frustrated Ising lattice gas, a three-dimensional lattice model of a structural glass, using the parallel tempering technique. We evaluate the spin and density overlap distributions, and the…
