Strong geometric frustration in model glassformers
C. Patrick Royall, Alex Malins, Andrew J. Dunleavy +1
We consider three popular model glassformers, the Kob-Andersen and Wahnström binary Lennard-Jones models and weakly polydisperse hard spheres. Although these systems exhibit a rang…
Identification of structure in condensed matter with the topological cluster classification
Alex Malins, Stephen R. Williams, Jens Eggers +1
We describe the topological cluster classification (TCC) algorithm. The TCC detects local structures with bond topologies similar to isolated clusters which minimise the potential…
Investigating isomorphs with the topological cluster classification
Alex Malins, Jens Eggers, C. Patrick Royall
Isomorphs are lines in the density-temperature plane of certain "strongly-correlating" or "Roskilde simple" liquids where two-point structure and dynamics have been shown to be clo…
Lifetimes and Lengthscales of Structural Motifs in a Model Glassformer
Alex Malins, Jens Eggers, Hajime Tanaka +1
We use a newly-developed method to identify local structural motifs in a popular model glassformer, the Kob-Andersen binary Lennard-Jones mixture. By measuring the lifetimes of a z…
The role of quench rate in colloidal gels
C. Patrick Royall, Alex Malins
Interactions between colloidal particles have hitherto usually been fixed by the suspension composition. Recent experimental developments now enable the control of interactions \em…
Identification of long-lived clusters and their link to slow dynamics in a model glass former
Alex Malins, Jens Eggers, C. Patrick Royall +2
We study the relationship between local structural ordering and dynamical heterogeneities in a model glass-forming liquid, the Wahnstrom mixture. A novel cluster-based approach is…
