Computer simulations of glassy disordered media |
In liquid and glassy systems, striking dynamical heterogeneities can occur in which the motion in the sample becomes strongly nonuniform. Portions of the sample may appear frozen while other portions are rapidly moving over a finite time scale. We use computer simulations of charged particles to explore this heterogeneity in both liquids and glasses, and find interesting behavior including correlated dislocation motion and an effective attraction between moving charges.
BIOGRAPHY: Cynthia obtained her B.A. from Luther College in 1994 and her Ph.D. in physics from University of Michigan in 1998. After getting her doctorate, Cynthia did a postdoc in physics at UC-Davis with R. Scalettar and G. Zimanyi. Cynthia came to LANL as a Director's Fellow postdoc in 2000, and has been a staff member in T-12 since 2002.
