AGE-INDEPENDENT PROCESS IN AGING HARD-SPHERE SUSPENSIONS: THE BETA PROCESS AND ITS RAMIFICATIONS — •Hans Joachim Schöpe1 and William van Megen2 — 1Universität Tübingen — 2RMIT University Melbourne
We consider the dynamics of a suspension of hard sphere-like particles in the proximity of its glass transition, the region where the intermediate scattering functions show significant aging. The time correlation function of the longitudinal particle current shows no dependence on age and reveals behaviour of ideal super-packed fluid and glass. The power laws of the beta process of the idealised mode coupling theory are exposed directly without reliance on fitting parameters. We proffer a mechanism linking the reversible/ageless dynamics, which constitutes the beta-process, and the irreversible aging dynamics.
