Reduced strength and extent of dynamic heterogeneity in a strong glass former as compared to fragile glass formers

Hannah Staley, Elijah Flenner, Grzegorz Szamel

We examined dynamic heterogeneity in a model tetrahedral network glass-forming liquid. We used four-point correlation functions to extract dynamic correlation lengths xi_4^a(t) and…

On the coarse-grained density and compressibility of non-ideal crystals: general theory and an application to cluster crystals

Johannes Häring, Christof Walz, Grzegorz Szamel +1

The isothermal compressibility of a general crystal is analyzed within classical density functional theory. Our approach can be used for homogeneous and unstrained crystals contain…

A theory for the dynamics of dense systems of athermal self-propelled particles

Grzegorz Szamel

We present a derivation of a recently proposed theory for the time dependence of density fluctuations in stationary states of strongly interacting, athermal, self-propelled particl…

Fundamental differences between glassy dynamics in two and three dimensions

Elijah Flenner, Grzegorz Szamel

The two-dimensional freezing transition is very different from its three-dimensional counterpart. In contrast, the glass transition is usually assumed to have similar characteristi…

Cooling-rate dependence of kinetic and mechanical stability of simulated glasses

Hannah Staley, Elijah Flenner, Grzegorz Szamel

Recently, ultrastable glasses have been created through vapor deposition. Subsequently, computer simulation algorithms have been proposed that mimic the vapor deposition process an…

Glassy dynamics of athermal self-propelled particles: Computer simulations and a nonequilibrium microscopic theory

Grzegorz Szamel, Elijah Flenner, Ludovic Berthier

We combine computer simulations and analytical theory to investigate the glassy dynamics in dense assemblies of athermal particles evolving under the sole influence of self-propuls…
