On the surface of glasses
Jacob D. Stevenson, Peter G. Wolynes
Dynamics near the surface of glasses is generally much faster than in the bulk. Neglecting static perturbations of structure at the surface, we use random first order transition th…
Constructing explicit magnetic analogies for the dynamics of glass forming liquids
Jacob D. Stevenson, Aleksandra M. Walczak, Randall W. Hall +1
By defining a spatially varying replica overlap parameter for a supercooled liquid referenced to an ensemble of fiducial liquid state configurations we explicitly construct a const…
Comparison of some recent Excitation Chain Arguments with the Random First Order Transition Theory of Supercooled Liquids and Experiment
Jacob D. Stevenson, Peter G. Wolynes
We compare a recent excitation chain argument for the glass transition with the earlier random first order transition theory. The key equation determining the activation barriers a…
Thermodynamic- Kinetic Correlations in Supercooled Liquids- A Critical Survey of Experimental Data and Predictions of the Random First Order Transition Theory of Glasses
Jacob D. Stevenson, Peter G. Wolynes
Thermodynamics and kinetics are thought to be linked in glass transitions. The quantitative predictions of -relaxation activation barriers provided by the theory of glasses…
