We study the properties of a monodisperse lattice glass model with a simple geometrical interpretation, which reproduces many features of glass forming liquids, such as the cage effect, vanishing diffusivity, and the presence of two time scales in relaxation functions. The model has a crystalline ground state at high density, but has no tendency to crystallize when quenched, even at extremely low cooling rates, which makes it suitable for the study of the glass transition. We study the model in mean field on random regular graphs, finding a scenario analogous to p-spin models.

Abstract
We study the properties of a monodisperse lattice glass model with a simple geometrical interpretation, which reproduces many features of glass forming liquids, such as the cage effect, vanishing diffusivity, and the presence of two time scales in relaxation functions. The model has a crystalline ground state at high density, but has no tendency to crystallize when quenched, even at extremely low cooling rates, which makes it suitable for the study of the glass transition. We study the model in mean field on random regular graphs, finding a scenario analogous to p-spin models.File in questo prodotto:
