The interaction-site-density-fluctuation correlators, the dipole-relaxation functions, and the mean-squared displacements of a system of symmetric dumbbells of fused hard spheres are calculated for two representative elongations of the…
Generalizing the mode-coupling theory for ideal liquid-glass transitions, equations of motion are derived for the correlation functions describing the glassy dynamics of a diatomic probe molecule immersed in a simple glass-forming system.…
The interrelation of dynamic processes active on separated time-scales in glasses and viscous liquids is investigated using a model displaying two time-scale bifurcations both between fast and secondary relaxation and between secondary and…
Dielectric measurements on molecular liquids just above the glass transition indicate that alpha relaxation is characterized by a generic high-frequency loss varying as $\omega^{-1/2}$, whereas deviations from this come from one or more…
We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to investigate the coupling/decoupling between translational and rotational dynamics in a glass-forming liquid of dumbbells. This is done via a careful analysis of the $\alpha$-relaxation time…
Molecular dynamics simulations (mds) were carried out to investigate the reorientational motion of a rigid (fixed bond length), asymmetric diatomic molecule in the liquid and glassy states. In the latter the molecule reorients via…
We present extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a liquid of symmetric dumbbells, for constant packing fraction, as a function of temperature and molecular elongation. For large elongations, translational and rotational degrees of…
A unified treatment of structural relaxation in a deeply supercooled glassy liquid is developed which extends the existing mode coupling theory (MCT) by incorporating the effects of activated events by using the concepts from the random…
The mean-squared displacement (MSD) of a hard sphere and of a dumbbell molecule consisting of two fused hard spheres immersed in a dense hard-sphere system is calculated within the mode-coupling theory for ideal liquid-glass transitions. It…
Temporal relaxation of density fluctuations in supercooled liquids near the glass transition occurs in multiple steps. The short-time $\beta$-relaxation is generally attributed to spatially local processes involving the rattling motion of a…
We report a molecular dynamics (MD) study of the collective dynamics of a simple monatomic liquid -interacting through a two body potential that mimics that of lithium- across the liquid-glass transition. In the glassy phase we find…
We show that the relaxation dynamics near a glass transition with continuous ergodicity breaking can be endowed with a geometric interpretation based on percolation theory. At mean-field level this approach is consistent with the…
The reformulation of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the liquid-glass transition which incorporates the element of metastability is applied to the hard-sphere system. It is shown that the glass transition in this system is not a sharp one…
We analyze the slow, glassy structural relaxation as measured through collective and tagged-particle density correlation functions obtained from Brownian dynamics simulations for a polydisperse system of quasi-hard spheres in the framework…
Molecular-dynamics simulations are presented for two correlation functions formed with the partial density fluctuations of binary hard-sphere mixtures in order to explore the effects of mixing on the evolution of glassy dynamics upon…
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…
The mode-coupling theory for ideal glass transitions in simple systems is generalized to a theory for the glassy dynamics of molecular liquids using the density fluctuations of the sites of the molecule's constituent atoms as the basic…
Generalized mode-coupling theory (GMCT) constitutes a systematically correctable, first-principles theory to study the dynamics of supercooled liquids and the glass transition. It is a hierarchical framework that, through the incorporation…
Relaxation processes in supercooled liquids are known to exhibit interesting as well as complex behavior. One of the hallmarks of this relaxation process observed in the measured auto correlation function is occurrence of multiple steps of…
Multiple relaxation channels often arise in the dynamics of liquids where the momentum current associated to the particle-conservation law splits into distinct contributions. Examples are strongly confined liquids for which the currents in…
