Shear induced topological changes of local structure in dense colloidal suspensions

Ratimanasee Sahu, Abhishek Kumar Gupta, Peter Schall +2

Understanding the structural origins of glass formation and mechanical response remains a central challenge in condensed matter physics. Recent studies have identified the local ca…

Identifying structural signature of dynamical heterogeneity via the local softness parameter

Mohit Sharma, Manoj Kumar Nandi, Sarika Maitra Bhattacharyya

In a recent study by some of us, we have proposed a new measure of the structure of a liquid, the softness of the mean-field caging potential, and shown that it can describe the te…

Emergence of cooperatively reorganizing cluster and super-Arrhenius dynamics of fragile supercooled liquids

Ankit Singh, Sarika Maitra Bhattacharyya, Yashwant Singh

In this paper we develop a theory to calculate the structural relaxation time τ α of fragile su percooled liquids. Using the information of the configurational entropy and structur…

A Microscopic Theory of Softness in Supercooled Liquids

Manoj Kumar Nandi, Sarika Maitra Bhattacharyya

We introduce a new measure of the structure of a liquid which is the softness of the mean-field potential developed by us earlier. We find that this softness is sensitive to small…

A Comparative Study of a Class of Mean Field Theories of the Glass Transition

Indranil Saha, Manoj Kumar Nandi, Chandan Dasgupta +1

In a recently developed microscopic mean field theory, we have shown that the dynamics of a system, when described only in terms of its pair structure, can predict the correct dyna…

Comparative study of anomalous size dependence of charged and neutral solute diffusion in water

Sayantan Acharya, Sarika Maitra Bhattacharyya

In this work, we perform a comparative study of the size dependence of diffusion of charged and neutral solutes in water. The neutral solute in water shows a nonmonotonicity in the…
