Effective Potential in Glass Forming Liquids
Antonio de Candia
The effective potential formalism is applied to glass forming liquids, choosing a coupling potential such that the "order parameter", conjugated to the coupling strength, is the me…
Statistical Mechanics of jamming and segregation in granular media
M. Nicodemi, A. Coniglio, A. de Candia +3
In the framework of schematic hard spheres lattice models we discuss Edwards' Statistical Mechanics approach to granular media. As this approach appears to hold here to a very good…
A lattice glass model with no tendency to crystallize
M. Pica Ciamarra, M. Tarzia, A. de Candia +1
We study a lattice model with two body interactions that reproduces in three-dimensions many features of structural glasses, like cage effect and vanishing diffusivity. While havin…
Autocorrelation functions in 3D fully frustrated systems
G. Franzese, A. Fierro, A. De Candia +1
We present a numerical study of autocorrelation functions of a 3D Fully Frustrated Ising model (FFIM) simulated by spin-flip Monte Carlo dynamics, finding simple exponential decay…
