@article{ISI:000074893400102, abstract = {Transitions between ``glassy″ local minima of a model free-energy functional for a dense hard-sphere system are studied numerically using a ``microcanonical″ Monte Carlo method that enables us to obtain the transition probability as a function of the free energy and the Monte Carlo ``time.″ The growth of the height of the effective free-energy barrier with density is found to be consistent with a Vogel-Fulcher law. The dependence of the transition probability on time indicates that this growth is primarily due to an increase in the difficulty of finding low-free-energy paths to other minima.}, author = {Dasgupta, C and Valls, OT}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevE.58.801}, issn = {1063-651X}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW E}, month = {JUL}, number = {1}, orcid-numbers = {Dasgupta, Chandan/0000-0002-0302-1881}, pages = {801-804}, times-cited = {16}, title = {Entropic origin of the growth of relaxation times in simple glassy liquids}, unique-id = {ISI:000074893400102}, volume = {58}, year = {1998} }
