The glass transition in hydrogen-bonded glass formers differs from the glass transition in other glass formers. The Eshelby rearrangements of the highly viscous flow are superimposed by strongly asymmetric hydrogen bond rupture processes, responsible for the excess wing. Their influence on the shear relaxation spectrum is strong in glycerol and close to zero in PPE, reflecting the strength of the hydrogen bond contribution to the high frequency shear modulus. An appropriate modification of a recent theory of the highly viscous flow enables a quantitative common description of the relaxation spectra in shear, linear and non-linear dielectrics, and heat capacity.

We carried out AC magnetic susceptibility measurements and muon spin relaxation spectroscopy on the cubic double perovskite Ba2YMoO6, down to 50 mK. Below ~1 K the muon relaxation is typical of a magnetic insulator with a spin-liquid type ground stat
e, i.e. without broken symmetries or frozen moments. However, the AC susceptibility revealed a dilute-spin-glass like transition below ~ 1 K. Antiferromagnetically coupled Mo5+ 4d1 electrons in triply degenerate t2g orbitals are in this material arranged in a geometrically frustrated fcc lattice. Bulk magnetic susceptibility data has previously been interpreted in terms of a freezing to a heterogeneous state with non-magnetic sites where 4d^1 electrons have paired in spin-singlets dimers, and residual unpaired Mo5+ 4d1 electrons. Based on the magnetic heat capacity data it has been suggested that this heterogeneity is the result of kinetic constraints intrinsic to the physics of the pure system (possibly due to topological overprotection), leading to a self-induced glass of valence bonds between neighbouring 4d1 electrons. The muSR relaxation unambiguously points to a static heterogeneous state with a static arrangement of unpaired electrons isolated by spin-singlet (valence bond) dimers between the majority of Mo5+ 4d electrons. The AC susceptibility data indicate that the residual magnetic moments freeze into a dilute-spin-glass-like state. This is in apparent contradiction with the muon-spin decoupling at 50 mK in fields up to 200 mT, which indicates that, remarkably, the time scale of the field fluctuations from the residual moments is ~ 5 ns. Comparable behaviour has been observed in other geometrically frustrated magnets with spin-liquid-like behaviour and the implications of our observations on Ba2YMoO6 are discussed in this context.
The problem of the helix-coil transition of biopolymers in explicit solvents, like water, with the ability for hydrogen bonding with solvent is addressed analytically using a suitably modified version of the Generalized Model of Polypeptide Chains. B
esides the regular helix-coil transition, an additional coil-helix or reentrant transition is also found at lower temperatures. The reentrant transition arises due to competition between polymer-polymer and polymer-water hydrogen bonds. The balance between the two types of hydrogen bonding can be shifted to either direction through changes not only in temperature, but also by pressure, mechanical force, osmotic stress or other external influences. Both polypeptides and polynucleotides are considered within a unified formalism. Our approach provides an explanation of the experimental difficulty of observing the reentrant transition with pressure; and underscores the advantage of pulling experiments for studies of DNA. Results are discussed and compared with those reported in a number of recent publications with which a significant level of agreement is obtained.
We study experimentally the origin of heterogeneous dynamics in strongly driven glass-forming systems. Thereto, we apply a well-defined force with a laser line trap on individual colloidal polystyrene probe particles seeded in an emulsion glass compo
sed of droplets of the same size. Fluid and glass states can be probed. We monitor the trajectories of the probe and measure displacements and their distributions. Our experiments reveal intermittent dynamics around a depinning transition at a threshold force. For smaller forces, linear response connects mean displacement and quiescent mean squared displacement. Mode coupling theory calculations rationalize the observations.
The sluggish and heterogeneous dynamics of glass forming liquids is frequently associated to the transient coexistence of two phases of particles, respectively with an high and low mobility. In the absence of a dynamical order parameter that acquires
a transient bimodal shape, these phases are commonly identified empirically, which makes difficult investigating their relation with the structural properties of the system. Here we show that the distribution of single particle diffusivities can be accessed within a Continuous Time Random Walk description of the intermittent motion, and that this distribution acquires a transient bimodal shape in the deeply supercooled regime, thus allowing for a clear identification of the two coexisting phase. In a simple two-dimensional glass forming model, the dynamic phase coexistence is accompanied by a striking structural counterpart: the distribution of the crystalline-like order parameter becomes also bimodal on cooling, with increasing overlap between ordered and immobile particles. This simple structural signature is absent in other models, such as the three-dimesional Kob-Andersen Lennard-Jones mixture, where more sophisticated order parameters might be relevant. In this perspective, the identification of the two dynamical coexisting phases opens the way to deeper investigations of structure-dynamics correlations.
Magnetic ordering at low temperature for Ising ferromagnets manifests itself within the associated Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) random cluster representation as the occurrence of a single positive density percolating network. In this paper we investigate t
he percolation signature for Ising spin glass ordering -- both in short-range (EA) and infinite-range (SK) models -- within a two-replica FK representation and also within the different Chayes-Machta-Redner two-replica graphical representation. Based on numerical studies of the $pm J$ EA model in three dimensions and on rigorous results for the SK model, we conclude that the spin glass transition corresponds to the appearance of {it two} percolating clusters of {it unequal} densities.
