Heterogeneities in supercooled liquids: a density-functional study.
A metastable state, characterized by a low degree of mass localization, is identified using density-functional theory (DFT). This free energy minimum, located through the proper evaluation of competing terms in the free energy functional, is independent of the specific form of the DFT used. Computer simulation results on particle motion indicate that this heterogeneous state corresponds to the ...
متن کاملDynamic heterogeneities in supercooled water
We investigate dynamic heterogeneities in liquid water by performing molecular dynamics simulations of the SPC/E model. We find clusters of mobile molecules. We study the temperature and time dependence of the cluster size and find that clusters grow as temperature decreases and have a maximum size at the time scale corresponding to the escape of the molecules from the cage formed by neighborin...
متن کاملSlow dynamics, dynamic heterogeneities, and fragility of supercooled liquids confined in random media.
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the slow dynamics of supercooled liquids confined in a random matrix of immobile obstacles. We study the dynamical crossover from glass-like to Lorentz-gas-like behavior in terms of the density correlation function, the mean square displacement, the nonlinear dynamic susceptibility, the non-gaussian parameter, and the fragility. We find the coopera...
متن کاملInfluence of Surface Heterogeneities on Complexation of Ethylene with Active Sites of NiMCM-41 Nanocatalyst: A Density Functional Theory Study
Consecutive adsorption of ethylene molecules on different nanoclusters as representatives of the active sites of NiMCM-41 catalyst was investigated with respect to structural, topological, and energetic properties at the B3LYP/6-311+G* and M06/Def2-TZVP levels of theory. The dimeric adsorption of the ethylene molecules was found to be exothermic on all sites (adsorption enthalpies ranging from ...
متن کاملDynamics of supercooled liquids : density fluctuations and Mode Coupling Theory
We write equations of motion for density variables that are equivalent to Newtons equations. We then propose a set of trial equations parameterised by two unknown functions to describe the exact equations. These are chosen to best fit the exact Newtonian equations. Following established ideas, we choose to separate these trial functions into a set representing integrable motions of density wave...
