Network dynamics: a computational framework for the simulation of the glassy state
An out-of-equilibrium simulation method for tracking the time evolution of glassy systems (or any other systems that can be described by hopping dynamics over a network of discrete states) has been developed.
Structural Transitions in Glassy Atactic Polystyrene Using Transition-State Theory
Transition pathways on the energy landscape of atactic polystyrene (aPS) glassy specimens are probed below its glass-transition temperature. Each of these transitions is considered an elementary structural relaxation event, whose corresponding rate constant is calculated by applying multidimensional transition-state theory.
