Theory of Specific Heat in Glass Forming Systems

H. G. E. Hentschel, Valery Ilyin, Itamar Procaccia +1

Experimental measurements of the specific heat in glass-forming systems reveal anomalies in the temperature dependence of the specific heat, including the so called "specific heat…

Ageing and Relaxation in Glass Forming Systems

Valery Ilyin, Itamar Procaccia, Ido Regev +1

We propose that there exists a generic class of glass forming systems that have competing states (of crystalline order or not) which are locally close in energy to the ground state…

Mechanical Properties of Glass Forming Systems

Valery Ilyin, Nataliya Makedonska, Itamar Procaccia +1

We address the interesting temperature range of a glass forming system where the mechanical properties are intermediate between those of a liquid and a solid. We employ an efficien…

Statistical Mechanics of the Glass Transition

H. G. E. Hentschel, Valery Ilyin, Nataliya Makedonska +2

The statistical mechanics of simple glass forming systems in 2 dimensions is worked out. The glass disorder is encoded via a Voronoi tessellation, and the statistical mechanics is…

Direct Identification of the Glass Transition: Growing Length Scale and the Onset of Plasticity

Einat Aharonov, Eran Bouchbinder, H. G. E. Hentschel +4

Understanding the mechanical properties of glasses remains elusive since the glass transition itself is not fully understood, even in well studied examples of glass formers in two…

Inverse melting and inverse freezing: a spin model

Nurith Schupper, Nadav M. Shnerb

Systems of highly degenerate ordered or frozen state may exhibit inverse melting (reversible crystallization upon heating) or inverse freezing (reversible glass transition upon hea…
