Abstract

The inherent structure approach, wherein thermodynamic and structural changes in glass-forming liquids are analyzed in terms of local potential energy minima that the liquid samples, has recently been applied extensively to the study of thermodynamic aspects of glass-forming liquids. The evaluation of the configurational entropy, which arises from the multiplicity of local energy minima, plays a central role in such analyses. Results are presented here concerning the calculation of configurational entropy based on computer simulations of a model liquid; and the application of the inherent structure formalism to the study of the glass transition locus, and the fragility of glass-forming liquids.
