Atomistic mechanisms of dynamics in a two-dimensional dodecagonal quasicrystal
Kun Zhao, Matteo Baggioli, Wen-Sheng Xu +2
Quasicrystals have been observed in a variety of materials ranging from metal alloys to block copolymers. However, their structural and dynamical properties cannot be readily descr…

Quantitative relations between nearest-neighbor persistence and slow heterogeneous dynamics in supercooled liquids
Katrianna S. Sarkar, Kevin A. Interiano-Alberto, Jack F. Douglas +1
Using molecular dynamics simulations of a binary Lennard-Jones model of glass-forming liquids, we examine how the decay of the normalized neighbor-persistence function $C_{\rm B}(t…

Generalized Entropy Theory Investigation of the Relatively High Segmental Fragility of Many Glass-Forming Polymers
Xiaolei Xu, Jack F. Douglas, Wen-Sheng Xu
We utilize the generalized entropy theory (GET) of glass formation to address one of the most singular and least understood properties of polymer glass-forming liquids in compariso…
