Extensive molecular-dynamics simulations on two different glass-forming systems are performed to test the prediction proposed recently by the mean-field theory (MFT) of glass transition that a fragile system can be mimicked by a simpler one near their glass transitions. One is a simulation for a...

We investigate how universal the collective behavior, due to the many-body interactions in polydisperse hard-sphere systems, is at higher volume fractions. We perform two types of computer simulations, a Brownian-dynamics simulation on colloidal suspensions of hard spheres, where the...

Self-diffusion in multi-component glass-forming systems including fragile and strong glasses is studied from a unified viewpoint. A simple analytic form of long-time self-diffusion coefficient DSL is proposed. The equations for the mean-square displacements recently derived for two types of...
