Glassy dynamics of kinetically constrained models
We review the use of kinetically constrained models (KCMs) for the study of dynamics in
glassy systems. The characteristic feature of KCMs is that they have trivial, often non …

Spatially heterogeneous dynamics investigated via a time-dependent four-point density correlation function
Understanding the underlying principles of the glass transition is a long-standing problem in
condensed matter. Some have argued that the glass transition is a purely kinetic …

Geometrical explanation and scaling of dynamical heterogeneities in glass forming systems
We show how dynamical heterogeneities in glass forming systems emerge as a
consequence of the existence of dynamical constraints, and we offer an interpretation of the …

The relationship of dynamical heterogeneity to the Adam-Gibbs and random first-order transition theories of glass formation
We carefully examine common measures of dynamical heterogeneity for a model polymer
melt and test how these scales compare with those hypothesized by the Adam and Gibbs …

Dynamic heterogeneity in amorphous materials
L Berthier - arxiv preprint arxiv:1106.1739, 2011 - arxiv.org
Amorphous solids are mechanically rigid while possessing a disordered structure similar to
that of dense liquids. Recent research indicates that dynamical heterogeneity, spatio …
