In qualitative agreement with the results presented in Nature Phys. {\\bf 8}, 164 (2012) for a liquid of harmonic spheres, we find that our binary mixture shows a saturation of the dynamical length scale close to the mode-coupling temperature $T_c$. Furthermore we show that, due to the broken symmetry imposed by the wall, signatures of an additional change in dynamics become apparent at a temperature well above $T_c$. We provide evidence that this modification in the relaxation dynamics occurs at a recently proposed dynamical crossover temperature $T_s > T_c$, which is related to the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation. We find that this dynamical crossover at $T_s$ is also observed for a system of harmonic spheres as well as a WCA liquid, showing that it may be a general feature of glass-forming systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-06-13T17:56:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "64.70.Q-", "05.20.Jj", "05.10.-a" ], "keywords": [ "supercooled liquids", "amorphous wall", "harmonic spheres", "dynamical crossover", "binary lennard-jones liquid" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "year": 2014, "month": "May", "volume": 89, "number": 5, "pages": "052311" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhRvE..89e2311H" } } }
