Saddle points and dynamics of Lennard-Jones clusters, solids, and supercooled liquids [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2002 The properties of higher-index saddle points have been invoked in recent theories of the dynamics of supercooled liquids. Here we examine in detail a mapping of configurations to saddle points using minimization of |∇E|2, which has been used in previous work to support these theories.

Metsanduslikud Uurimused, 2012 Cold-hardiness can be measured by supercooling points – the temperature at which spontaneous freezing occurs. Seasonal changes in supercooling point were assessed in field-collected predacious carabid beetle species: Carabus granulatus L., Pterostichus ...

Fickian crossover and length scales from two point functions in supercooled liquids [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2006 Particle motion of a Lennard-Jones supercooled liquid near the glass transition is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We analyze the wave vector dependence of relaxation times in the incoherent self-scattering function and show that at least three different regimes can be identified and its scaling properties determined. The transition from one
