Quasisaddles as relevant points of the potential energy surface in the dynamics of supercooled liquids [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2002 The supercooled dynamics of a Lennard-Jones model liquid is numerically investigated studying relevant points of the potential energy surface, i.e., the minima of the square gradient of total potential energy V. The main findings are (i) the number of negative curvatures n of these sampled points appears to extrapolate to zero at the mode coupling ...
