Glassy behaviour in simple kinetically constrained models: topological networks, lattice analogues and annihilation-diffusion

We report a study of a series of simple model systems with only non-interacting Hamiltonians, and hence simple equilibrium thermodynamics, but with constrained dynamics of a type initially suggested by foams and idealized covalent glasses. We demonstrate that macroscopic dynamical features character...

description We report a study of a series of simple model systems with only non-interacting Hamiltonians, and hence simple equilibrium thermodynamics, but with constrained dynamics of a type initially suggested by foams and idealized covalent glasses. We demonstrate that macroscopic dynamical features characteristic of real and more complex model glasses, such as two-time decays in energy and auto-correlation functions, arise from the dynamics and we explain them qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of annihilation-diffusion concepts and theory. The comparison is with strong glasses. We also consider fluctuation-dissipation relations and demonstrate subtleties of interpretation. We find no FDT breakdown when the correct normalization is chosen.
