X Abstract

We perform molecular dynamics simulations on Lennard-Jones binary mixtures of the Kob-Andersen type to investigate the properties of the dynamical heterogeneity near the glass transition. To characterize it, we focus on two types of spatial correlation functions of the direction and mobility fluctuations. Then, we predict the correlation lengths from those correlation functions. Although the correlation length obtained from the direction converges away from the glass transition point, that from the mobility fluctuation increases as the system approaches the glass transition point and has a peak near the glass transition. It suggests that the correlation of the mobility fluctuation plays an important role, more than that of the direction near the glass transition.

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.
