X Abstract

In this paper, review of recent theoretical and simulation work on dynamical heterogeneity and correlated particle motion in glass-forming liquids and polymers is presented. Evidence for increasing mobility fluctuations in these systems with decreasing temperature, and the relationship between dynamical heterogeneity and decoupling of diffusion and structural relaxation is described. The relationship between dynamical heterogeneity, string-like collective motion, the clustering of strings, and mode-coupling theory is briefly discussed.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
