Structural relaxation in supercooled orthoterphenyl.
We report molecular-dynamics simulation results performed for a model of molecular liquid orthoterphenyl in supercooled states, which we then compare with both experimental data and mode-coupling-theory (MCT) predictions, aiming at a better understanding of structural relaxation in orthoterphenyl. We pay special attention to the wave number dependence of the collective dynamics. It is shown tha...
متن کاملOvershoots in stress-strain curves: Colloid experiments and schematic mode coupling theory
Synopsis The stress vs strain curves in dense colloidal dispersions under start up shear flow are investigated combining experiments on model core shell microgels, computer simulations of hard disk mixtures, and mode coupling theory. In dense fluid and glassy states, the transient stresses exhibit first a linear increase with the accumulated strain, then a maximum (stress overshoot) for strain ...
متن کاملNeutron Scattering Studies of the Model Glass Former Ortho-terphenyl
The van der Waals liquid orthoterphenyl has long been used as a model system in the study of the glass transition. Motivated by mode–coupling theory, extensive experiments have been undertaken to monitor the onset of structural relaxation on microscopic time and length scales. Using in particular quasielastic neutron scattering, the decay of density and tagged–particle correlations has been mea...
متن کاملDynamics of the Random Potential Spherical Model
– The dynamics of many continuous degrees of freedom interacting via a random potential and subject to a global spherical constraint is investigated. The model is a prototype mean-field model for structural glasses near the glass transition. In the high temperature phase the model is described by equations similar to those of the Schematic Mode Coupling Theory for structural glasses. The analys...
متن کاملA pr 1 99 9 Equations of structural relaxation
In the mode coupling theory of the liquid to glass transition the long time structural relaxation follows from equations solely determined by equilibrium structural parameters. The present extension of these structural relaxation equations to arbitrarily short times on the one hand allows calculations unaffected by model assumptions about the microscopic dynamics and on the other hand supplies ...
