Mode coupling behavior of a Lennard-Jones binary mixture: a comparison between bulk and confined phases

Abstract:
We present a quantitative comparison at equivalent thermodynamical conditions of bulk and confined dynamical properties of a Lennard-Jones binary mixture upon supercooling. Both systems had been previously found to display a behavior in agreement with the mode coupling theory of the evolution of glassy dynamics. Differences and analogies of behavior are discussed focusing, in particular, on the role of hopping in reducing spatially correlated dynamics in the confined system with respect to the bulk.

Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...

The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
