We investigate the translational and rotational relaxation dynamics of a crowded two-dimensional system of monodisperse Penrose kites, in which crystallization, quasi-crystallization, and nematic ordering are suppressed, from low to high area fractions along the metastable ergodic fluid branch. First, we demonstrate a decoupling between both the translational and the rotational diffusion coefficients and the relaxation time: the diffusivities are not inversely proportional to the relaxation time, neither in the low-density normal liquid regime nor in the high-density supercooled regime. Our simulations reveal that this inverse proportionality breaks in the normal liquid regime due to the Mermin-Wagner long-wavelength fluctuations and in the supercooled regime due to the dynamical heterogeneities. We then show that dynamical heterogeneities are mainly spatial for translational degrees of freedom and temporal for rotational ones, that there is no correlation between the particles with the largest translational and rotational displacements, and that different dynamical length scales characterize the translational and the rotational motion. Hence, despite the translational and the rotational glass-transition densities coincide, according to a mode-coupling fit, translations and rotations appear to decorrelate via different dynamical processes.

Non-equilibrium active matter made up of self-driven particles with short-range repulsive interactions is a useful minimal system to study active matter as the system exhibits collective motion and nonequilibrium order-disorder transitions. We studie
d high-aspect-ratio self-propelled rods over a wide range of packing fraction and driving to determine the nonequilibrium state diagram and dynamic properties. Flocking and nematic-laning states occupy much of the parameter space. In the flocking state the average internal pressure is high and structural and mechanical relaxation times are long, suggesting that rods in flocks are in a translating glassy state despite overall flock motion. In contrast, the nematic-laning state shows fluid-like behavior. The flocking state occupies regions of the state diagram at both low and high packing fraction separated by nematic-laning at low driving and a history-dependent region at higher driving; the nematic-laning state transitions to the flocking state for both compression and expansion. We propose that the laning-flocking transitions are a type of glass transition which, in contrast to other glass-forming systems, can show fluidization as density increases. The fluid internal dynamics and ballistic transport of the nematic-laning state may promote collective dynamics of rod-shaped microorganisms.
The two-dimensional freezing transition is very different from its three-dimensional counterpart. In contrast, the glass transition is usually assumed to have similar characteristics in two and three dimensions. Using computer simulations we show tha
t glassy dynamics in supercooled two- and three-dimensional fluids are fundamentally different. Specifically, transient localization of particles upon approaching the glass transition is absent in two dimensions, whereas it is very pronounced in three dimensions. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the relaxation time of orientational correlations is decoupled from that of the translational relaxation time in two dimensions but not in three dimensions. Lastly, the relationships between the characteristic size of dynamically heterogeneous regions and the relaxation time are very different in two and three dimensions. These results strongly suggest that the glass transition in two dimensions is different than in three dimensions.
The time-dependent fluctuations of conductivity sigma have been studied in a two-dimensional electron system in low-mobility, small-size Si inversion layers. The noise power spectrum is ~1/f^{alpha} with alpha exhibiting a sharp jump at a certain ele
ctron density n_s=n_g. An enormous increase in the relative variance of sigma is observed as n_s is reduced below n_g, reflecting a dramatic slowing down of the electron dynamics. This is attributed to the freezing of the electron glass. The data strongly suggest that glassy dynamics persists in the metallic phase.
We derive equations of motion for the mean-squared displacement (MSD) of an active Brownian particle (ABP) in a crowded environment modeled by a dense system of passive Brownian particles, and of a passive tracer particle in a dense active-Brownian p
article system, using a projection-operator scheme. The interaction of the tracer particle with the dense host environment gives rise to strong memory effects. Evaluating these approximately in the framework of a recently developed mode-coupling theory for the glass transition in active Brownian particles (ABP-MCT), we discuss the various regimes of activity-induced super-diffusive motion and density-induced sub-diffusive motion. The predictions of the theory are shown to be in good agreement with results from an event-driven Brownian dynamics simulation scheme for the dynamics of two-dimensional active Brownian hard disks.
Glassy dynamics was investigated for thin films of atactic polystyrene by complex electric capacitance measurements using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. During the isothermal aging process the real part of the electric capacitance increased with
time, whereas the imaginary part decreased with time. It follows that the aging time dependences of real and imaginary parts of the electric capacitance were primarily associated with change in volume (film thickness) and dielectric permittivity, respectively. Further, dielectric permittivity showed memory and rejuvenation effects in a similar manner to those observed for poly(methyl methacrylate) thin films. On the other hand, volume did not show a strong rejuvenation effect.
