However, the discovery of most LMOGs has largely been serendipitous. The molecular structural...The content of this RSS Feed (c) […]Qian-Ru Li
- Beyond Pair Entropy: Orientational Many-Body Correlations in Supercooled Glass-Forming Liquids from a Four-Point Structural Entropy Tháng 6 7, 2026Soft Matter, 2026, Accepted ManuscriptDOI: 10.1039/D6SM00491A, PaperSandeep Kushawah, Devansu Chakraborty, Prasanth P JoseThe conventional pair entropy S2, derived from the isotropic radial distribution function g(r), systematically underestimates structural ordering in supercooled glass-forming liquids. We argue that this failure arises because S2, constructed...The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of ChemistrySandeep Kushawah
