Glassy Relaxation and Breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein Rela- tion in the Two Dimensional Lattice Coulomb Gas of Fractional Charges

چکیده
– We present Monte Carlo simulation results on the equilibrium relaxation of the two dimensional lattice Coulomb gas with fractional charges, which exhibits a close analogy to the primary relaxation of fragile supercooled liquids. Single particle and collective relaxation dynamics show that the Stokes-Einstein relation is violated at low temperatures, which can be characterized by a fractional power law relation between the self-diffusion coefficient and the characteristic relaxation time. The microscopic spatially heterogeneous structure responsible for the violation is identified. The dynamics of supercooled liquids approaching the glass transition remains one of the most fundamental problems in condensed matter physics [1]. An important question concerning transport properties of supercooled liquids is the validity and possible breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation. There have been many experimental results [2] which show that highly supercooled liquids exhibit breakdown of the SE relation. Although there exist some theoretical attempts [3], the underlying microscopic mechanism for the violation of the SE relation is not well understood. In this work, by probing single particle and collective relaxation dynamics of the two dimensional (2D) lattice Coulomb gas (CG) with fractional charges parameterized by charge frustration f = p/q, we demonstrate that this non-random lattice model [4, 5] on a square lattice exhibits equilibrium relaxation behavior that closely resembles the primary relaxation of fragile supercooled liquids. Moreover, we observe that the model exhibits a strong violation of the SE relation at low temperatures, which is characterized by a fractional power law relation between the self-diffusion coefficient and the characteristic relaxation time. Recent molecular Typeset using EURO-TEX 2 EUROPHYSICS LETTERS dynamics simulations on the 2D [8, 9] and 3D binary liquids [10] also report the breakdown of the SE relation. General 2D CG on a square lattice is described by the following Hamiltonian that can be mapped from uniformly frustrated XY (UFXY) model by means of Villain transformation [11],

Structural relaxation, self-diffusion, and kinetic heterogeneity in the two-dimensional lattice Coulomb gas.
We present Monte Carlo simulation results on the equilibrium relaxation dynamics in the two-dimensional lattice Coulomb gas, where finite fractions f of the lattice sites are occupied by positive charges. In the case of high-order rational values of f close to the irrational number 1-g [g identical with (square root of 5-1)/2 is the golden mean], we find that the system exhibits, for a wide ran...

We give an overview of recent work on charge degrees of freedom of strongly correlated electrons on geometrically frustrated lattices. Special attention is paid to the checkerboard lattice, i.e., the two-dimensional version of a pyrochlore lattice and to the kagomé lattice. For the checkerboard lattice it is shown that at half filling when spin degrees of freedom are neglected and at quarter f...
متن کاملIs there a fractional breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation in Kinetically Constrained Models at low temperature?
We study the motion of a tracer particle injected in facilitated models which are used to model supercooled liquids in the vicinity of the glass transition. We consider the East model, FA1f model and a more general class of non-cooperative models. For East previous works had identified a fractional violation of the Stokes-Einstein relation with a decoupling between diffusion and viscosity of th...

We present a detailed derivation of the renormalization group equations for two dimensional electromagnetic Coulomb gases whose charges lie on a triangular lattice (magnetic charges) and its dual (electric charges). The interactions between the charges involve both angular couplings and a new electromagnetic potential. This motivates the denomination of “elastic” Coulomb gas. Such elastic Coulo...
