Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long- range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …
Understanding glass formation is a challenge, because the existence of a true glass state, distinct from liquid and solid, remains elusive: Glasses are liquids that have become too …
H Tanaka - The European Physical Journal E, 2012 - Springer
There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase …
D Chandler, JP Garrahan - Annual review of physical chemistry, 2010 - annualreviews.org
We review a theoretical perspective of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids and the glass transition, a perspective developed during this past decade based on the structure of …
A Heuer - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
In this review a systematic analysis of the potential energy landscape (PEL) of glass-forming systems is presented. Starting from the thermodynamics, the route towards the dynamics is …
We show that the dynamics of kinetically constrained models of glass formers takes place at a first-order coexistence line between active and inactive dynamical phases. We prove this …
One of the most spectacular phenomena in physics in terms of dynamical range is the glass transition and the associated slowing down of flow and relaxation with decreasing …
We investigate the dynamics of kinetically constrained models of glass formers by analysing the statistics of trajectories of the dynamics, or histories, using large deviation function …
JP Bouchaud, G Biroli - The Journal of chemical physics, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
We reformulate the interpretation of the mean-field glass transition scenario for finite dimensional systems, proposed by Kirkpatrick, Thirumalai, and Wolynes (KTW)[Phys. Rev. A …
