Fundamentals and methods

Potential energy landscape exploration

The slow dynamics of a glass is a sequence of jumps between minima of its potential energy surface. Methods are developed to locate these minima and the transitions connecting them, and to follow how a glassy polymer moves among them as it is deformed.
