论文摘要
我们从统计力学的角度回顾了玻璃过渡,玻璃动力学和老化的领域。我们简要介绍了该主题,并解释了玻璃系统中遇到的主要现象学,并特别着重于空间异质动力学。我们回顾了目前可用于说明这些玻璃现象的主要理论方法,包括有关液体和眼镜平均场理论的最新发展,新型的计算工具以及与干扰过渡的联系。最后,讨论了玻璃材料表现出的衰老和平衡动力学的物理学。
We review the field of the glass transition, glassy dynamics and aging from a statistical mechanics perspective. We give a brief introduction to the subject and explain the main phenomenology encountered in glassy systems, with a particular emphasis on spatially heterogeneous dynamics. We review the main theoretical approaches currently available to account for these glassy phenomena, including recent developments regarding mean-field theory of liquids and glasses, novel computational tools, and connections to the jamming transition. Finally, the physics of aging and off-equilibrium dynamics exhibited by glassy materials is discussed.
