Minimalist landscape model of glass relaxation

Mauro, John C.; Smedskjaer, Morten M. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 12, pp. 3446-3459

interesting to consider a simplified enthalpy landscape that captures the essential features of glass relaxation and can be solved …The relaxation behavior of glass is of great scientific and technological importance. However, prediction of glass … relaxation behavior using direct first principles techniques is currently infeasible for realistic laboratory time scales. The …

Distinguishability of particles in glass-forming systems

Mauro, John C.; Smedskjaer, Morten M. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 22, pp. 5392-5403

The distinguishability of particles has important implications for calculating the partition function in statistical mechanics. While there are standard formulations for systems of identical particles that are either fully distinguishable or fully indistinguishable, many realistic systems do not...
