A vibrational model of transport properties of dense fluids assumes that solid-like oscillations
of atoms around their temporary equilibrium positions dominate the dynamical picture. The …

This topical review discusses the quasiuniversality of simple liquids' structure and dynamics
and two possible justifications of it. The traditional one is based on the van der Waals picture …

This article gives an overview of excess-entropy scaling, the 1977 discovery by Rosenfeld
that entropy determines properties of liquids like viscosity, diffusion constant, and heat …

Rosenfeld proposed two different scaling approaches to model the transport properties of
fluids, separated by 22 years, one valid in the dilute gas, and another in the liquid phase. In …

In this work, we propose a new predictive entropy-scaling approach for Newtonian shear
viscosities based on group contributions. The approach is based on Rosenfeld's original …

Transport coefficients, such as viscosity or diffusion coefficient, show significant dependence
on density or temperature near the glass transition. Although several theories have been …

A major issue in materials science is why glasses present low-temperature thermal and
vibrational properties that sharply differ from those of crystals. In particular, long-wavelength …

We present diffusion coefficient and shear viscosity data for the Lennard-Jones fluid along
nine isochores above the critical density, each involving a temperature variation of roughly …

Contrary to continuous phase transitions, where renormalization group theory provides a
general framework, for discontinuous phase transitions such a framework seems to be …

Glass transition is characterised by drastic dynamical slowing down upon cooling,
accompanied by growing spatial heterogeneity. Its rationalisation by subtle changes in the …
