Simulation of models for the glass transition: Is there progress?
Kurt Binder, Jörg Baschnagel, Walter Kob +1
The glass transition of supercooled fluids is a particular challenge for computer simulation, because the (longest) relaxation times increase by about 15 decades upon approaching t…
Glassy Dynamics of Simulated Polymer Melts: Coherent Scattering and Van Hove Functions Part II: Dynamics in the alpha-Relaxation Regime
M. Aichele, J. Baschnagel
Whereas the first part of this paper dealt with the relaxation in the beta-regime, this part investigates the final (alpha) relaxation of a simulated polymer melt consisting of sho…
Glassy Dynamics of Simulated Polymer Melts: Coherent Scattering and Van Hove Correlation Functions Part I: Dynamics in the beta-Relaxation Regime
M. Aichele, J. Baschnagel
We report results of molecular-dynamics simulations of a model polymer melt consisting of short non-entangled chains in the supercooled state above the critical temperature of mode…
Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Glass Transition of Polymers
K. Binder, J. Baschnagel, C. Bennemann +1
Two coarse-grained models for polymer chains in dense glass-forming polymer melts are studied by computer simulation: the bond-fluctuation model on a simple cubic lattice, where a…
