Liquid-glass transition of confined fluids: Some insights from a mode-coupling theory
Abstract
Description
The dynamics of confined glassforming liquids is discussed on the basis of the recent extension of the mode coupling theory for the liquid-glass transition to the model of the quenched-annealed binary mixture. It is in particular shown that, in confinement, the density correlation functions always decay to a non-zero infinite time value, even in the fluid state, and some clarification is given about the question of the relation between structure and dynamics in confined fluids.
