Kinetic Heterogeneities in a Highly Supercooled Liquid
Kinetic Heterogeneities in a Highly Supercooled Liquid
We study a highly supercooled two-dimensional fluid mixture via molecular dynamics simulation. We follow bond breakage events among particle pairs, which occur on the scale of the α relaxation time τ α . Large scale heterogeneities analogous to the critical fluctuations in Ising systems are found in the spatial distribution …
