The Lindemann criterion is reformulated in terms of the average shear modulus $G_c$ of the melting crystal, indicating a critical melting shear strain which is necessary to form the many different inherent states of the liquid. In glass…
We give in this letter a set of general rules which allow the prediction of the value of the glass transition temperature $T_g$ in network glasses. Starting from the Gibbs-Di Marzio law which gives a very general relationship between this…
We give general topological rules which very accurately predict the chemical trends in glass transition temperature $T_g$ variation as a function of cross-linking. In multicomponent glasses, these chemical trends permit to distinguish…
Melting is well understood in terms of the Lindemann criterion, essentially stating that crystalline materials melt when the thermal vibrations of their atoms become such vigorous that they shake themselves free of the binding forces.…
We give a simple demonstration of the formula relating the glass transition temperature, $T_g$, to the molar concentration $x$ of a modifier in two types of glasses: binary glasses, whose composition can be denoted by $X_nY_m+xM_pY_q$, with…
The glass transition temperature and its connection to statistical properties of confined and free-standing polymer films of varying thickness containing unentangled to highly entangled bead-spring chains are studied by molecular dynamics…
Since more than 100 years, melting is thought to be governed by the Lindemann criterion. It assumes that a crystal melts when, upon heating, the growing atomic vibration amplitudes become sufficiently large to destabilize its crystalline…
We investigate a binary Lennard-Jones mixture with molecular dynamics simulations. We consider first a system cooled linearly in time with the cooling rate gamma. By varying gamma over almost four decades we study the influence of the…
The glass transition is considered as a phase transition in the system of topologically protected excitations in matter structure. The critical behavior of the system is considered both in statics and dynamics cases. It is shown in the…
Using positional data from video-microscopy of a two-dimensional colloidal system and from simulations of hard discs we determine the wave-vector-dependent normal mode spring constants in the supercooled fluid and glassy state,…
Using molecular dynamics computer simulations we investigate how the glass transition and the properties of the resulting glass depend on the cooling rate with which the sample has been quenched. This is done by studying a two component…
In this article, we present a universal relationship between the glass transition temperature $T_g$ and the local glass structure. The derivation of the simplest expression of this relationship and some comparisons with experimental $T_g$…
The mean-square displacement (MSD) was measured by neutron scattering at various temperatures and pressures for a number of molecular glass-forming liquids. The MSD is invariant along the glass-transition line at the pressure studied, thus…
A comparative study is reported on the dynamics of a glass-forming epoxy resin when the glass transition is approached through different paths: cooling, compression, and polymerization. In particular, the influence of temperature, pressure…
We study heterogeneities in a binary Lennard-Jones system below the glass transition using molecular dynamics simulations. We identify mobile and immobile particles and measure their distribution of vibrational amplitudes. For temperatures…
The abrupt loss of mechanical stability of two-dimensional graphene-type crystals at a certain transition temperature is described. At this temperature, the graphene state with practically zero-speed bending sound and developed bending…
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…
Kinetic lattice-gas models display fragile glass behavior, in spite of their trivial Gibbs-Boltzmann measure. This suggests that the nature of glass transition might be, at least in some cases, understood in purely kinetic or dynamical…
We use large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to study the kinetics of the liquid-gas phase separation if the temperature is lowered across the glass transition of the dense phase. We observe a gradual change from phase separated…
The interplay of slow dynamics and thermodynamic features of dense liquids is studied by examinining how the glass transition changes depending on the presence or absence of Lennard-Jones-like attractions. Quite different thermodynamic…
