Multiple reentrant glass transitions of soft spheres at high densities — •Michael Schmiedeberg — Institut für Theoretische Physik 2: Weiche Materie, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, 40204 Düsseldorf, Germany

We study the dynamics of soft spheres by using Molecular Dynamics simulations. The relaxation time varies non-monotonically as a function of density at constant temperature (cf. [1,2]). We determine and study the jamming phase diagrams that indeed show multiple reentrant glass transitions if temperature and density are used as control parameters. However, if we switch to a new formulation of the jamming phase diagrams [3], where temperature over pressure and pressure are employed as control parameters, no non-monotonic behavior can be observed.
