We investigate how structural relaxation in mixtures with strong dynamical asymmetry is affected by the microscopic dynamics. Brownian and Newtonian dynamics simulations of dense mixtures of fast and slow hard spheres reveal a striking trend reversal. Below a critical density, increasing the mobility of the fast particles fluidizes the system, yet, above that critical density, the same increase in mobility strongly hinders the relaxation of the slow particles. The critical density itself does not depend on the dynamical asymmetry and can be identified with the glass-transition density of the mode-coupling theory. The asymptotic dynamics close to the critical density is universal, but strong pre-asymptotic effects prevail in mixtures with additional size asymmetry. This observation reconciles earlier findings of a strong dependence on kinetic parameters of glassy dynamics in colloid--polymer mixtures with the paradigm that the glass transition is determined by the properties of configuration space alone.
We investigate dynamical self-friction, the process by which material that is stripped from a subhalo torques its remaining bound remnant, which causes it to lose orbital angular momentum. By running idealized simulations of a subhalo orbiting within
We consider models of growing multi-level systems wherein the growth process is driven by rules of tournament selection. A system can be conceived as an evolving tree with a new node being attached to a contestant node at the best hierarchy level (a
Physical properties of out of equilibrium soft materials depend on time as well as deformation history. In this work we propose to transform this major shortcoming into gain by applying controlled deformation field to tailor the rheological propertie
Cooperative events requiring anomalously large fluctuations are a defining characteristic for the onset of glassy relaxation across many materials. The importance of such intermittent events has been noted in systems as diverse as superconductors, me
We study quantum many-body systems with a global U(1) conservation law, focusing on a theory of $N$ interacting fermions with charge conservation, or $N$ interacting spins with one conserved component of total spin. We define an effective operator si
