Particle jumps in structural glasses
Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Raffaele Pastore, Antonio Coniglio
Particles in structural glasses rattle around temporary equilibriumpositions, that seldom change through a process which is much faster than the relaxation time, known as particle…
Dynamics and instantaneous normal modes in a liquid with density anomalies
Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Peter Sollich
We investigate the relation between the dynamical features of a supercooled liquid and those of its potential energy landscape, focusing on a model liquid with density anomalies. W…
Elastic models of the glass transition applied to a liquid with density anomalies
M. Pica Ciamarra, Peter Sollich
Elastic models of the glass transition relate the relaxation dynamics and the elastic properties of structural glasses. They are based on the assumption that the relaxation dynamic…
Spatial correlations of elementary relaxation events in glass-forming liquids
Raffaele Pastore, Antonio Coniglio, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
The dynamical facilitation scenario, by which localized relaxation events promote nearby relaxation events in an avalanching process, has been suggested as the key mechanism connec…
