Critical-like behaviour in non-crystalline solids caused by angular correlations — •Mariya Rasshchupkyna1,2,3, Volodymyr Bugaev3,4, Johannes Roth5, Gerhard Grübel6,1, and Peter Wochner3,4 — 1The Hamburg Centre for Ultrafast Imaging (CUI) — 2University of Hamburg — 3Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Stuttgart — 4Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart — 5Institute for Functional Materials and Quantum Technologies, University of Stuttgart — 6DESY
Modern experimental techniques on the basis of coherent scattering data, such as X-ray cross-correlation analysis (XCCA) [1] allow the direct determination of angular correlations (and their modes) in molecular disordered systems. We performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for model systems with Dzugutov-type [2] interaction adjusted for the creation of glassy-type quasi-equilibrium states. XCCA applied to the simulated coherent scattering patterns of the MD samples reveals a four-point dodecagonal dominant mode responsible for the formation of non-commensurate structures, as found in glasses and quasicrystals. Strikingly, this mode exhibits a pronounced temperature-dependence indicating a critical-type behavior in the vicinity of the glassy-type transition.
