Diffusion coefficient power laws and defect-driven glassy dynamics in swap acceleration
arXiv:2111.11697 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.168002
Abstract
Particle swaps can drastically accelerate dynamics in glass. The mechanism is expected to be vital for a fundamental understanding of glassy dynamics. To extract defining features, we propose a partial swappability with a fraction {ϕ_s} of swap-initiating particles, which can only swap locally with each other or with regular particles. We focus on the swap-dominating regime. At all temperatures studied, particle diffusion coefficients scale with {ϕ_s} in unexpected power laws with temperature-dependent exponents, consistent with the kinetic picture of glass transition. At small {ϕ_s}, swap-initiators, becoming defect particles, induce remarkably typical glassy dynamics of regular particles. This supports defect models of glass.
