A Study of Activated Processes in Soft Sphere Glass
نویسنده
چکیده
On the basis of long simulations of a binary mixture of soft spheres just below the glass transition, we make an exploratory study of the activated processes that contribute to the dynamics. We concentrate on statistical measures of the size of the activated processes. 12/96 (a) ([email protected]) (b) ([email protected])

Activated bond-breaking processes preempt the observation of a sharp glass-glass transition in dense short-ranged attractive colloids.
We study-using molecular dynamics simulations-the temperature dependence of the dynamics in a dense short-ranged attractive colloidal glass to find evidence of the kinetic glass-glass transition predicted by the ideal mode coupling theory. According to the theory, the two distinct glasses are stabilized, one by excluded volume and the other by short-ranged attractive interactions. By studying t...
متن کاملGeometric interpretation of previtrification in hard sphere liquids.
We derive a microscopic criterion for the stability of hard sphere configurations and we show empirically that this criterion is marginally satisfied in the glass. This observation supports a geometric interpretation for the initial rapid rise in viscosity with packing fraction or previtrification. It also implies that barely stable soft modes characterize the glass structure, whose spatial ext...
متن کاملPrevalence of antibiotic resistant genes in selected activated sludge processes in Isfahan Province, Iran
Wastewater treatment plants are one of the main sources of dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and removal of ARGs in different wastewater treatment processes. A total of 36 samples from raw and final effluent of different activated sludge processes were collected and analyzed. Molecular analysis w...

متن کاملDensity-temperature-softness scaling of the dynamics of glass-forming soft-sphere liquids.
We employ the principle of dynamic equivalence between soft-sphere and hard-sphere fluids [Phys. Rev. E 68, 011405 (2003)] to describe the interplay of the effects of varying the density n, the temperature T, and the softness (characterized by a softness parameter ν(-1)) on the dynamics of glass-forming soft-sphere liquids in terms of simple scaling rules. The main prediction is the existence o...
