Potential energy landscape of a model glass former: Thermodynamics, anharmonicities, and finite size effects
Potential energy landscape of a model glass former: Thermodynamics, anharmonicities, and finite size effects
It is possible to formulate the thermodynamics of a glass forming system in terms of the properties of inherent structures, which correspond to the minima of the potential energy and build up the potential energy landscape in the high-dimensional configuration space. In this work we quantitatively apply this general approach …
