“…As anticipated, apart from the high-frequency spectrum, the dynamic susceptibility does not depend on the microscopic dynamics (Newtonian or Brownian) and the type of ISF (coherent or incoherent) [56]. This holds in particular for the "kink" visible in the low-frequency susceptibility spectrum for strong confinement L = 1.0σ (see Fig.…”

“…As discussed in Ref. [56], both a and b display a clear non-monotonic dependence on L which is therefore similarly true for γ. Interestingly, γ is very different between L = 1.0σ and L = 2.0σ, although the respective critical packing fractions ϕ c are basically equivalent. When analyzing larger wall separations it stands out that the convergence to the bulk limit is very slow, as has already been discussed in Ref.…”

We present numerical results for the tagged-particle dynamics by solving the mode-coupling theory in confined geometry for colloidal liquids (cMCT). We show that neither the microscopic dynamics nor the type of intermediate scattering function qualitatively changes the asymptotic dynamics in vicinity of the glass transition. In particular, we find similar characteristics of confinement in the low-frequency susceptibility spectrum which we interpret as footprints of parallel relaxation. We derive predictions for the localization length and the scaling of the diffusion coefficient in the supercooled regime and discover a pronounced non-monotonic dependence on the confinement length. For dilute liquids in the hydrodynamic limit we calculate an analytical expression for the intermediate scattering functions, which is in perfect agreement with event-driven Brownian dynamics simulations. From this, we derive an expression for persistent anti-correlations in the velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) for confined motion. Using numerical results of the cMCT equations for the VACF we also identify a cross-over between different scalings corresponding to a transition from unconfined to confined behaviour.

Confinement modifies the properties of a fluid. The particle density is no longer uniform but depends on the distance from the walls; parallel to the walls, layers with different particle...
The complex behavior of confined fluids arising due to a competition between layering and local packing can be disentangled by considering quasiconfined liquids, where periodic boundary conditions along the confining direction restore translational invariance. This system provides a means to investigate the interplay of the relevant length scales of the confinement and the local order. We provide a mode-coupling theory of the glass transition (MCT) for quasi-confined liquids and elaborate an efficient method for the numerical implementation. The nonergodicity parameters in MCT are compared to computer-simulation results for a hard-sphere fluid. We evaluate the nonequilibrium-state diagram and investigate the collective intermediate scattering function. For both methods, nonmonotonic behavior depending on the confinement length is observed.
