Entropy Crisis, Defects and the Role of Competition in Monatomic Glass Formers

arXiv:0708.2075

Abstract

We establish the existence of an entropy crisis in monatomic glass formers. The work finally shows that the entropy crisis is ubiqutous in all supercooled liquids. We also study the roles of defects and energetic competition on the ideal glass.
