Tagged-particle dynamics in confined colloidal liquids
arXiv:2110.14954 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.102.032611
Abstract
We present numerical results for the tagged-particle dynamics by solving the mode-coupling theory in confined geometry for colloidal liquids (cMCT). We show that neither the microscopic dynamics nor the type of intermediate scattering function qualitatively changes the asymptotic dynamics in vicinity of the glass transition. In particular, we find similar characteristics of confinement in the low-frequency susceptibility spectrum which we interpret as footprints of parallel relaxation. We derive predictions for the localization length and the scaling of the diffusion coefficient in the supercooled regime and discover a pronounced non-monotonic dependence on the confinement length. For dilute liquids in the hydrodynamic limit we calculate an analytical expression for the intermediate scattering functions, which is in perfect agreement with event-driven Brownian dynamics simulations. From this, we derive an expression for persistent anti-correlations in the velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) for confined motion. Using numerical results of the cMCT equations for the VACF we also identify a cross-over between different scalings corresponding to a transition from unconfined to confined behaviour.
