Abstract: | By employing a simplified nonlinear memory function proposed recently by the present author, a universal equation for a collective-intermediate scattering function derived based on the time-convolutionless mode-coupling theory is numerically solved to study the dynamics of glass-forming liquids. The numerical calculation is done based on the simulation results performed on two types of liquids, fragile liquids and strong liquids. Those are then shown to be uniquely determined by the long-time collective diffusion coefficient , where is a first peak position of a static structure factor for a whole system. Thus, there exists such a universality that there is only one solution for different liquids of a same type at a given value of D. This may be consistent with the fact that strong liquids are structurally quite different from fragile liquids. Finally, it is emphasized that such a universality must be helpful to predict from experimental data. |
