The relaxation behavior of glass is of great scientific and technological importance. However, prediction of glass relaxation behavior using direct first principles techniques is currently infeasible for realistic laboratory time scales. The enthalpy landscape approach has proven to be successful in overcoming this time scale constraint and providing insights into the fundamental physics governing glass transition and relaxation behavior. However, it is still too computationally intensive to calculate representative enthalpy landscapes for multicomponent glasses of industrial interest. It is thus interesting to consider a simplified enthalpy landscape that captures the essential features of glass relaxation and can be solved analytically. Here, we present the analytical solution for such a minimalist landscape model that is complicated enough to capture both primary (alpha) and secondary (beta) relaxation processes, yet simple enough to offer a closed-form solution. Using this minimalist landscape, we perform model calculations to illustrate the relative impact of activation barriers and entropy on glass relaxation behavior. The results of our model show that alpha and beta relaxation processes are largely decoupled, in agreement with recently published experimental results. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Mechanisms of microstructural deformation governing Vickers hardness in phase-separated calcium aluminosilicate glasses

Nicholas L. Clark, Shih-Yi Chuang, John C. Mauro

Summary: The study investigates the impact of microstructure on hardness in phase-separated calcium aluminosilicate glasses. Hardness changes are governed by microstructural deformations during indentation. Phase separation leads to decreased hardness due to incongruent yielding of droplet and matrix phases. Microstructures with dilute, spherical droplets have minimal impact on hardness, whereas microstructures with concentrated, acicular droplets deform through droplet coalescence, resulting in improved hardness.

Aubrey L. Fry, Andrew L. Ogrinc, Seong H. Kim, John C. Mauro

Summary: This study investigates the effect of modifier field strength (FS) on the elastic-plastic responses of aluminoborosilicate (ABS) glasses. Six different network modifier compositions were created to cover a range of cation FS. The results show that the modifier FS has a significant impact on the mechanical and physical properties of ABS glasses, including elastic moduli, Poisson's ratio, indentation size effect, and bow-in parameter.

Field strength effect on elastoplastic behavior of aluminoborosilicate glass: II. Volumetric recovery

Aubrey L. Fry, Andrew L. Ogrinc, Seong H. Kim, John C. Mauro

Summary: The field strength effect of different network modifiers on the elastoplastic properties of aluminoborosilicate glasses was investigated through a volumetric recovery study. This research, along with Part I, examined the relationship between hardness, crack resistance, and other physical properties with glass elasticity. The results showed that the elastic volume fraction decreased with field strength for both alkali and alkaline earth glasses. The Poisson's ratio did not exhibit a trend with pile-up or shear flow volume fraction. The elastic-to-plastic deformation ratio increased with applied load and decreased with modifier field strength for both alkali and alkaline earth glasses, and an increase in plasticity correlated with increased hardness, crack resistance, and elastic moduli.

Cracking the Kauzmann paradox

Rebecca S. Welch, Edgar D. Zanotto, Collin J. Wilkinson, Daniel R. Cassar, Maziar Montazerian, John C. Mauro

Summary: The Kauzmann paradox and the Kauzmann temperature have been widely debated topics in the field of glass science for the past eighty years. This review provides a retrospective on the origin of these hypotheses and their study through energy landscapes, crystallization behavior, and viscosity models. After nearly eighty years of research, there is no conclusive evidence that supports the concepts proposed by Kauzmann, suggesting that future work should be focused elsewhere.

Summary: The relationship between the microstructure, mechanical properties, and transparency of Na2O-P2O5-SiO2 glass-ceramics was investigated. The mechanical properties were determined by the crystal type, content, size, and remaining glass-matrix structure. Changes in crystallization behavior and crystal size had opposite effects on crack resistance and fracture toughness. The glass-ceramic samples exhibited high transmittance and a maximum fracture toughness of 1.1MPam(0.5).

High damage-resistance and fracture toughness of transparent Nb-doped barium aluminoborate glass ceramics

Qi Zhang, Daming Sun, Tao Du, Lars R. Jensen, Deyong Wang, Vladimir Popok, Randall E. Youngman, Morten M. Smedskjaer

Summary: In this work, a Nb-doped barium aluminoborate glass-ceramic is reported, for which both the crack initiation resistance and fracture toughness are improved upon heat treatment, while still maintaining some transparency. It is found that the decrease of coordination numbers of B and Al in the glass phase upon heat treatment contributes to the improvement of the crack initiation resistance. The formed piezoelectric crystal phase BaNb2O6 also helps to improve both crack initiation resistance and fracture toughness by converting stress-induced mechanical energy into electric energy. Meanwhile, the increase in crystallinity and crystal size after heat treatment leads to higher fracture toughness of the glass-ceramics.

Controlling factor for fracture resistance and ionic conduction in glassy lithium borophosphate electrolytes

Tao Du, Zhimin Chen, Han Liu, Qi Zhang, Mathieu Bauchy, Yuanzheng Yue, Morten M. Smedskjaer

Summary: This study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations and machine learning techniques to reveal the encoding of fracture behavior and ionic conduction in glassy lithium borophosphate electrolytes within their static structures. The softness metric is identified as an indicator for both fracture resistance and ionic conductivity, as the propensities for bond-switching of boron atoms and migration of lithium ions increase with atomic softness. The out-of-equilibrium interaction of boron and lithium with oxygen neighbors enhances their propensity for bond-switching or rearrangement when experiencing stimuli. These findings enable the discovery of optimum chemical compositions for glassy solid electrolytes with high mechanical stability and high ionic conductivity.

Learning molecular dynamics: predicting the dynamics of glasses by a machine learning simulator

Han Liu, Zijie Huang, Samuel S. Schoenholz, Ekin D. Cubuk, Morten M. Smedskjaer, Yizhou Sun, Wei Wang, Mathieu Bauchy

Summary: Based on graph neural network (GNN), an observation-based graph network (OGN) framework is introduced to simulate complex glass dynamics solely from their static structure, bypassing all physics laws. By applying OGN to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, successful prediction of atom trajectories evolving up to a few hundred timesteps is achieved, implying that atom dynamics in disordered phases is largely encoded in their static structure, and exploring the potential generality of OGN simulations for many-body dynamics.

S. S. Sorensen, M. M. Smedskjaer, M. Micoulaut

Summary: Classical molecular dynamics is employed to investigate the dynamics of alkali ions in Na2S-SiS2 glass, a potential fast ion conductor. The research finds that the diffusion in such thiosilicates exhibits similar features to alkali silicates, including channel-like diffusion and Arrhenius behavior. However, the dynamics show significant heterogeneity, with fast and slow Na ion motion observed both in the high-temperature liquid and in the glassy state.

Molecular dynamics simulations of magnesium aluminosilicate glass structure: High-coordinated alumina and oxygen tricluster formation

Rebecca S. Welch, Tyler C. Salrin, Tyler Greiner, Caio Barca Bragatto, John C. Mauro

Summary: Previous research has shown discrepancies in the reported structure of alkaline earth aluminosilicate glasses using molecular dynamics simulations and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. This study analyzes the formation of triple-bonded oxygens (TBO) and five-coordinated aluminum units (Al[5]) with different compositions in the magnesium aluminosilicate system. The results indicate that both TBO and Al[5] are prevalent in certain compositions, and the calculated Al[5] fraction is within the experimental variation found in the literature. Therefore, classical potentials can accurately capture alumina environments, and TBOs are inherent to the aluminosilicate glass system.

A simple learning agent interacting with an agent-based market model

Matthew Dicks, Andrew Paskaramoorthy, Tim Gebbie

Summary: In this study, we investigate the learning dynamics of a single reinforcement learning optimal execution trading agent when it interacts with an event-driven agent-based financial market model. The results show that the agents with smaller state spaces converge faster and are able to intuitively learn to trade using spread and volume states. The introduction of the learning agent has a robust impact on the moments of the model, except for the Hurst exponent, which decreases, and it can increase the micro-price volatility as trading volumes increase.

Joint estimation of Ising model parameters with Hamiltonian constraint

Oliver Smirnov

Summary: This study proposes a new method for simultaneously estimating the parameters of the 2D Ising model. The method solves a constrained optimization problem, where the objective function is a pseudo-log-likelihood and the constraint is the Hamiltonian of the external field. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using models of different shapes and sizes to evaluate the performance of the method with and without the Hamiltonian constraint. The results demonstrate that the proposed estimation method yields lower variance across all model shapes and sizes compared to a simple pseudo-maximum likelihood.

First-passage time statistics for non-linear diffusion

Przemyslaw Chelminiak

Summary: The study investigates the first-passage properties of a non-linear diffusion equation with diffusivity dependent on the concentration/probability density through a power-law relationship. The survival probability and first-passage time distribution are determined based on the power-law exponent, and both exact and approximate expressions are derived, along with their asymptotic representations. The results pertain to diffusing particles that are either freely or harmonically trapped. The mean first-passage time is finite for the harmonically trapped particle, while it is divergent for the freely diffusing particle.

Langevin picture of subdiffusive particles under the joint influence of an expanding medium and an external constant force

Xudong Wang, Yao Chen

Summary: This article investigates the joint influence of expanding medium and constant force on particle diffusion. By starting from the Langevin picture and introducing the effect of external force in two different ways, two models with different force terms are obtained. Detailed analysis and derivation yield the Fokker-Planck equations and moments for the two models. The sustained force behaves as a decoupled force, while the intermittent force changes the diffusion behavior with specific effects depending on the expanding rate of the medium.
