Fig. 6: Coupling between excitations and CCRs: strings and correlations.
From: Probing excitations and cooperatively rearranging regions in deeply supercooled liquids
Blue shading indicates state points past the mode-coupling crossover. a–c String analysis. Particles in distinct strings at the temperatures shown are rendered in different colours, small grey particles are not identified in strings. d Relaxation time τα as a function of n for strings and the size of CRR clusters and strings. Dashed lines are fits to Adam–Gibbs scaling for the size of clusters and strings following ref. 40. e Size distribution of full strings at different temperatures. f Size distribution of substrings at different temperatures. The temperatures shown in the legend in (f) also apply to (e).
