Metastable Liquids, Plastic Crystals, and Glasses

将在三个主要领域进行研究：（1）粘性 液体，塑料晶体和玻璃，在哪把伞下， 建议完善对脆弱性的知识和理解， 液体，并调用塑料的可比现象学 水晶，特别是寻求塑料晶体与“脆弱” 行为 特别注意到系统的挑战 具有缓慢的结构自由度， 到粘弹模式。 最后，他们确定了 八极眼镜作为一个值得注意的：（2）液体在 负压，他们希望在哪个区域进行研究 液体在张力状态下的物理化学性质; 他们还提出了分子动力学研究， 初始正常液体结构的压力破裂， 产生并研究分形结构和动力学：最后 (3)概述了地球化学液体中的几个问题， 玻璃研究 他们提出实验和计算机 在这个领域的模拟研究。

Studies in three principal areas will be done: (1) Viscous liquids, plastic crystals, and glasses, under which umbrella they propose to refine the knowledge and understanding of fragility in liquids, and to invoke the comparable phenomenology of plastic crystals, specifically seeking plastic crystals with "fragile" behavior. A particular note is made of the challenge of systems with slow structural degrees of freedom which couple only weakly to the viscoelastic modes. Finally, they identify the area of octapolar glasses as one worthy of attention: (2) Liquids at negative pressure, in which area they wish to investigate physicochemical properties of liquids when in a state of tension; they also propose molecular dynamics studies invoking negative pressure rupturing of initially normal liquid structures to produce and then study fractal structures and dynamics: Finally (3) they outline several problems in geochemical liquid and glass research. They propose both experimental and computer simulation studies in this area.
