Dynamics and thermodynamics of supercooled liquids and glasses from a model energy landscape

The dynamics and thermodynamics of a model potential-energy surface are analyzed with regard to supercooling and glass formation. Relaxation is assumed to be mediated by pathways that connect groups of local minima. The dynamics between these groups is treated via transition state theory using appro...
