摘要: We present results from kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of diffusion in a model glass former. find that the constants obtained KMC have Arrhenius temperature dependence, while correct behavior, molecular dynamics simulations, can be super-Arrhenius. conclude discrepancy is due to undersampling higher-lying local minima runs. suggest relevant connectivity on potential energy surface proportional density minima, which determines "inherent structure entropy." The changing with may produce correlation between and thermodynamics.
