Thermodynamics and aging in supercooled liquids and glasses: a Potential Energy Landscape based description
ore 11:30
Università di Roma - La Sapienza

Abstract

I'll show the derivation of an equilibrium equation of state for supercooled liquid purely based on the knowledge of potential energy landscape properties. This equation of state, together with the dynamical evolution of the depth of the inherent structures, allows to predict the out of equilibrium dynamics of supercooled liquids and glasses. The theoretical predictions are successfully compared with data from molecular dynamics simulations of different aging processes.
