Non-Monotonic Dynamical Correlations Across The Glass Crossover
Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen +2
The dramatic slowing down of structural relaxation in supercooled liquids is accompanied by the emergence of dynamic heterogeneity. A monotonically increasing dynamical correlation…
Fundamental measure theory for predicting many-body correlation functions
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Teunike A. van de Pol, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
We study many-body correlation functions within various Fundamental Measure Theory (FMT) formulations and compare their predictions to Monte Carlo simulations of hard-sphere fluids…
Polydispersity-driven dynamical differences between two- and three-dimensional supercooled liquids
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Lotte van Gessel, Corentin Laudicina +2
Previous studies have suggested a conundrum in the relaxation dynamics of polydisperse supercooled liquids. It has been shown that in two dimensions, the relative relaxation times…
Dissecting mode-coupling theory for supercooled liquids
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
The mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the glass transition ranks among the most successful first-principles kinetic theories to describe glassy dynamics. However, MCT does not fully ac…
Simple fluctuations in simple glass formers
Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Patrick Charbonneau, Yi Hu +4
Critical single-particle fluctuations associated with particle displacements are inherent to simple glass-forming liquids in the limit of large dimensions and leave a pseudo-critic…
Comparison of integral equation theories of the liquid state
Ilian Pihlajamaa, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
The Ornstein-Zernike equation is a powerful tool in liquid state theory for predicting structural and thermodynamic properties of fluids. Combined with a suitable closure, it has b…
