Density dependence of relaxation dynamics in glass formers, and the dependence of their fragility on the softness of inter-particle interactions

 Fragility, quantifying the rapidity of variation of relaxation times, is analysed for a series of model glass formers, which differ in the softness of their interparticle interactions. In an attempt to rationalize experimental observations in colloidal suspensions that softer interactions lead to s...
