Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One-component soft-core system had been considered to be unsuitable for the study of the glass transition by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations because it easily crystalized. However, using a sufficiently large system, metastable structures (on the glass branch of the phase diagram) are obtained, which are structurally and thermodynamically regarded as in the glassy state. Since the dynamical scaling law is strictly satisfied, the system can be a useful model for the glass transition, which is not affected by the mixing effect of heteroatoms. Furthermore, it is possible to represent the physical properties such as specific heat and entropy in analytical expressions. By mapping the results obtained by the MD simulations on the phase-diagram, it is utilized for better understanding of the glass transition.
