Abstract
- The complex behavior of confined fluids arising due to a competition between layering and local packing can be disentangled by considering quasi-confined liquids, where periodic boundary conditions along the confining direction restore translational invariance. This system provides a means to investigate the interplay of the relevant length scales of the confinement and the local order. We provide a mode-coupling theory of the glass transition (MCT) for quasi-confined liquids and elaborate an efficient method for the numerical implementation. The nonergodicity parameters in MCT are compared to computer-simulation results for a hard-sphere fluid. We evaluate the nonequilibrium-state diagram and investigate the collective intermediate scattering function. For both methods, nonmonotonic behavior depending on the confinement length is observed.<br />Comment: Accepted by J. Stat. Mech.: Theory and Experiments
