Anatomy of cage formation in a 2D glass-forming liquid
Bo Li, Kai Lou, Walter Kob +1
The solidity of glassy materials is believed to be due to the cage formed around each particle by its neighbors, but in reality the details of cage-formation remain elusive [1-4].…

Probing the Local Response of Glass-forming Liquids by Laser Excitations
Bo Li, Kai Lou, Walter Kob +1
The glass is a disordered solid that processes distinct dynamical and elastic properties compared with crystal. How heterogeneous glassy materials can be and to what extent dynamic…

Breakdown of diffusivity-entropy scaling in colloidal glass forming liquids
Bo Li, Xiuming Xiao, Shuxia Wang +2
Glass is a liquid that has lost its ability to flow. Why this particular substance undergoes its dramatic slowing down in kinetics while remaining barely distinguishable in structu…
