Self-diffusion in a monatomic glass-forming liquid embedded in the hyperbolic plane
Self-diffusion in a monatomic glass-forming liquid embedded in the hyperbolic plane
Abstract We study, by molecular dynamics simulation, the slowing down of particle motion in a two-dimensional monatomic model: a Lennard-Jones liquid on the hyperbolic plane. The negative curvature of the embedding space frustrates the long-range extension of the local hexagonal order. As a result, the liquid avoids crystallization and forms …
