Dynamical facilitation governs glassy dynamics in suspensions of colloidal ellipsoids
Dynamical facilitation governs glassy dynamics in suspensions of colloidal ellipsoids
One of the greatest challenges in contemporary condensed matter physics is to ascertain whether the formation of glasses from liquids is fundamentally thermodynamic or dynamic in origin. While the thermodynamic paradigm has dominated theoretical research for decades, the purely kinetic perspective of the dynamical facilitation (DF) theory has attained prominence …
