Nonperturbative effect of attractive forces in viscous liquids

Abstract

We study the role of the attractive intermolecular forces in the viscous regime of a simple glass-forming liquid by using computer simulations. To this end, we compare the structure and the dynamics of a standard Lennard-Jones glass-forming liquid model with and without the attractive tail of the interaction potentials. The viscous slowing down of the two systems are found to be quantitatively and qualitatively different over a broad density range, whereas the static pair correlations remain close. The common assumption that the behaviour of dense nonassociated liquids is determined by the short-ranged repulsive part of the intermolecular potentials dramatically breaks down for the relaxation in the viscous liquid regime.
