Saddle Points and Dynamics of Lennard-Jones Clusters, Solids and Supercooled Liquids

The properties of higher-index saddle points have been invoked in recent theories of the dynamics of supercooled liquids. Here we examine in detail a mapping of configurations to saddle points using minimization of $|\nabla E|^2$, which has been used in previous work to support these theories. The e...
