Non-Monotonic Dynamical Correlations Across The Glass Crossover
Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen +2
The dramatic slowing down of structural relaxation in supercooled liquids is accompanied by the emergence of dynamic heterogeneity. A monotonically increasing dynamical correlation…
Fundamental measure theory for predicting many-body correlation functions
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Teunike A. van de Pol, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
We study many-body correlation functions within various Fundamental Measure Theory (FMT) formulations and compare their predictions to Monte Carlo simulations of hard-sphere fluids…
Polydispersity-driven dynamical differences between two- and three-dimensional supercooled liquids
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Lotte van Gessel, Corentin Laudicina +2
Previous studies have suggested a conundrum in the relaxation dynamics of polydisperse supercooled liquids. It has been shown that in two dimensions, the relative relaxation times…
Dissecting mode-coupling theory for supercooled liquids
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
The mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the glass transition ranks among the most successful first-principles kinetic theories to describe glassy dynamics. However, MCT does not fully ac…
Simple fluctuations in simple glass formers
Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Patrick Charbonneau, Yi Hu +4
Critical single-particle fluctuations associated with particle displacements are inherent to simple glass-forming liquids in the limit of large dimensions and leave a pseudo-critic…
Comparison of integral equation theories of the liquid state
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
The Ornstein-Zernike equation is a powerful tool in liquid state theory for predicting structural and thermodynamic properties of fluids. Combined with a suitable closure, it has b…
Unveiling the anatomy of mode-coupling theory
I. Pihlajamaa, V. E. Debets, C. C. L. Laudicina +1
The mode-coupling theory of the glass transition (MCT) has been at the forefront of fundamental glass research for decades, yet the theory's underlying approximations remain obscur…
Competing Relaxation Channels in Continuously Polydisperse Fluids: A Mode-Coupling Study
Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
Systems with a high degree of size polydispersity are becoming standard in the computational study of deeply supercooled liquids. In this work we perform a systematic analysis of c…
Emergent structural correlations in dense liquids
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Chengjie Luo +1
The complete quantitative description of the structure of dense and supercooled liquids remains a notoriously difficult problem in statistical physics. Most studies to date focus s…
A deep learning approach to the measurement of long-lived memory kernels from Generalised Langevin Dynamics
Max Kerr Winter, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Vincent E. Debets +1
Memory effects are ubiquitous in a wide variety of complex physical phenomena, ranging from glassy dynamics and metamaterials to climate models. The Generalised Langevin Equation (…
Influence of polydispersity on the relaxation mechanisms of glassy liquids
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
State-of-the-art techniques for simulating deeply supercooled liquids require a high degree of size polydispersity to be effective. While these techniques have enabled great insigh…
Many-body correlations are non-negligible in both fragile and strong glassformers
Chengjie Luo, Joshua F. Robinson, Ilian Pihlajamaa +3
It is widely believed that the emergence of slow glassy dynamics is encoded in a material's microstructure. First-principles theory [mode-coupling theory (MCT)] is able to predict…
Geometric percolation of colloids in shear flow
Ilian Pihlajamaa, René de Bruijn, Paul van der Schoot
We combine a heuristic theory of geometric percolation and the Smoluchowski theory of colloid dynamics to predict the impact of shear flow on the percolation threshold of hard sphe…
Blunt-end driven re-entrant ordering in quasi two-dimensional dispersions of spherical DNA brushes
Ivany Romero-Sanchez, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Natasa Adžić +4
We investigate the effects of crowding on the conformations and assembly of confined, highly charged, and thick polyelectrolyte brushes in the osmotic regime. Particle tracking exp…
Geometric percolation of hard nanorods: the interplay of spontaneous and externally induced uniaxial particle alignment
Shari P. Finner, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Paul van der Schoot
We present a numerical study on geometric percolation in liquid dispersions of hard slender colloidal particles subjected to an external orienting field. In the formulation and liq…
