We show that Kramers rate theory gives a straightforward, accurate estimate of the closing time $\tau_c$ of a semiflexible polymer that is valid in cases of physical interest. The calculation also reveals how the time scales of chain…
We study the jamming transition in a model of elastic particles under shear at zero temperature. The key quantity is the relaxation time $\tau$ which is obtained by stopping the shearing and letting energy and pressure decay to zero. At…
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…
We evaluate the ratio of the shear viscosity to the relaxation time of the shear flux above but near the critical temperature $T_c$ in SU(3) gauge theory on the lattice. The ratio is related to Kubo's canonical correlation of the…
The experimental fact that relaxation times, tau, of supercooled liquids and polymers are uniquely defined by the quantity TV^g, where T is temperature, V specific volume, and g a material constant, leads to a number of interpretations and…
We address a recent conjecture according to which the relaxation time $\tau$ of a viscous liquid obeys density scaling ($\tau=F(\rho^\gamma/T)$ where $\rho$ is density) if the liquid is ``strongly correlating,'' i.e., has almost 100%…
We study energy relaxation in a phenomenological model for polymer built from rheological considerations: a one dimensional nonlinear lattice with dissipative couplings. These couplings are well known in polymer's community to be possibly…
The relationship between short and long time relaxation dynamics is obtained for a simple solvable two-level energy landscape model of a glass. This is done through means of the Kramers transition theory, which arises in very natural manner…
The recently discovered scaling law for the relaxation times, tau=f(T,V^g), where T is temperature and V the specific volume, is derived by a revision of the entropy model of the glass transition dynamics originally proposed by Avramov [I.…
We study the jamming transition in a model of elastic particles under shear at zero temperature, with a focus on the relaxation time $\tau_1$. This relaxation time is from two-step simulations where the first step is the ordinary shearing…
We use recent developments in the framework of time dependent matrix product state method (t-MPS) to compute the NMR relaxation rate $1/T_1$ for spin-1/2 chains under magnetic field and for different Hamiltonians (XXX, XXZ, isotropically…
The time-dependent stress relaxation for a Rouse model of a crosslinked polymer melt is completely determined by the spectrum of eigenvalues of the connectivity matrix. The latter has been computed analytically for a mean-field distribution…
Since its introduction, liquid viscosity and relaxation time $\tau$ have been considered to be an intrinsic property of the system that is essentially local in nature and therefore independent of system size. We perform dielectric…
We give a quantitative analysis of the dynamical properties of fermionic cold atomic gases in normal phase, such as the shear viscosity, heat conductivity, and viscous relaxation times, using the novel microscopic expressions derived by the…
We argue that the ratio between the shear viscosity and the shear relaxation time, $\eta/\tau_\pi$, should be defined as a thermodynamic quantity obtained from the equal-time symmetric correlator of the shear-stress tensor. In kinetic…
A new approach to the dynamics of relaxation and kinetics of thermalization in a scalar field theory is presented that incorporates the relevant time scales through the resummation of hard thermal loops. An alternative derivation of the…
The relaxation to equilibrium of lattice systems with long-range interactions is investigated. The timescales involved depend polynomially on the system size, potentially leading to diverging equilibration times. A kinetic equation for…
Many glass-forming fluids exhibit a remarkable thermodynamic scaling in which dynamic properties, such as the viscosity, the relaxation time, and the diffusion constant, can be described under different thermodynamic conditions in terms of…
By analyzing the experimental data for various glass-forming liquids and polymers, we find that non-exponentiality $\beta$ and the relaxation time $\tau$ are uniquely related: $\log(\tau)$ is an approximately linear function of $1/\beta$,…
We study the mechanical response under time-dependent sources of a simple class of holographic models that exhibit viscoelastic features. The ratio of viscosity over elastic modulus defines an intrinsic relaxation time scale -- the…
