Whereas the first part of this paper dealt with the relaxation in the beta-regime, this part investigates the final (alpha) relaxation of a simulated polymer melt consisting of short non-entangled chains above the critical temperature Tc of…
We have performed a molecular dynamics computer simulation of a supercooled binary Lennard-Jones system in order to compare the dynamical behavior of this system with the predictions of the idealized version of mode-coupling theory (MCT).…
We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to study the relaxation dynamics of Na2O-2(SiO2) in its molten, highly viscous state. We find that at low temperatures the incoherent intermediate scattering function for Na relaxes about 100…
We present the results of a large scale computer simulation of supercooled silica. We find that at high temperatures the diffusion constants show a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence whereas at low temperature this dependence is also…
We present the results of a large scale molecular dynamics computer simulation in which we investigated the static and dynamic properties of a silica melt in the temperature range in which the viscosity of the system changes from O(10^-2)…
Employing wide-angle neutron spin echo spectroscopy, we measured the Q-dependent coherent intermediate scattering function of the prototypical ionic glass former Ca0.4K0.6(NO3)1.4, in the equilibrium and supercooled liquid states beyond the…
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study spatially heterogeneous dynamics in a model of viscous silica above and below the critical temperature of the mode coupling theory, $T_{MCT}$. Specifically, we follow the evolution of…
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…
Using a large scale molecular dynamics computer simulation we investigate the dynamics of a supercooled melt of SiO_2. We find that with increasing temperature the temperature dependence of the diffusion constants crosses over from an…
We present simulation results for a model polymer melt, consisting of short, nonentangled chains, in the supercooled state. The analysis focuses on the monomer dynamics, which is monitored by the incoherent intermediate scattering function.…
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…
A molecular dynamics simulation is performed for a supercooled liquid of rigid diatomic molecules. The time-dependent self and collective density correlators of the molecular centers of mass are determined and compared with the predictions…

Magnetic relaxation in a type-II superconductor is simulated for a range of temperatures (T) in a simple model of 2D Josephson junction array (JJA) with finite screening. The high-T phase, that is characterised by a single time scale…
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…
Using molecular dynamics computer simulations, we investigate the dynamics of the rotational degrees of freedom in a supercooled system composed of rigid, diatomic molecules. The interaction between the molecules is given by the sum of…
In this article we study a simple, purely topological, cellular model which is allowed to evolve through a Glauber-Kawasaki process. We find a non-thermodynamic transition to a glassy phase in which the energy (defined as the square of the…
Upon rapid quenching of temperature of a glass forming liquid, the system falls out of equilibrium due its finite relaxation time. Additionally, the relaxation becomes progressively slower with time. The created nonequilibrium state of the…
The time-convolutionless mode-coupling (TMCT) equation for the intermediate scattering function $f_{\alpha}(q,t)$ derived recently by the present author is transformed into a simple nonlinear recursion formula for a generating function…
