NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE TRANSITION GLASS TEMPERATURE IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL GLASSY CHALCOGENIDES

In this paper, we investigate the existence of a transition glass temperature in amorphous chalcogenides by means of numerical simulations in the two-dimensional Coulomb glass model. The powerful algorithm we employ enables us to explore greater sizes and lower temperatures than other numerical approaches. From the results we can infer that the 2D system is compatible with a dynamic glassy transition at zero temperature, in agreement with previous preliminary studies.
