Abstract
The relationship between Stokes-Einstein breakdown (SEB) and dynamical heterogeneity (DH) is of paramount importance in the physical chemistry of complex fluids. In this work, we employ neutron scattering to probe the DH and SEB in a series of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) composed of acetamide and lithium salts. Quasielastic neutron scattering experiments reveal SEB in the jump diffusion of acetamide, represented by a fractional Stokes-Einstein relationship. Among these DESs, lithium perchlorate exhibits the most pronounced SEB while lithium bromide displays the weakest. Concurrently, elastic incoherent neutron scans identify that bromide DES is the most heterogeneous and perchlorate is the least. For the first time, our study unveils a counterintuitive incommensurate relationship between DH and SEB. Further, it reveals the intricate contrasting nature of the SEB-DH relationship when investigated in proximity to the glass-transition temperature and further away from it.

Abstract
Aqueous mixtures of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have gained traction recently as an effective template to tailor their physicochemical properties. But detailed microscopic insights into the effects of water on the molecular relaxation phenomenon in DESs are not entirely understood. DESs are strong network-forming liquids due to the extensive hydrogen bonding and complex formation between their species, and therefore, water can behave as a controlled disruptor altering the microscopic structure and dynamics in DESs. In this study, the role of water in the diffusion mechanism of acetamide in the aqueous mixtures of DESs synthesized using acetamide and lithium perchlorate is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). The acetamide dynamics comprises localized diffusion within transient cages and a jump diffusion process across cages. The jump diffusion process is observed to be strongly enhanced by about a factor of 10 as the water content in the system is increased. Meanwhile, the geometry of the localized dynamics is unaltered by addition of water, but the localized diffusion becomes significantly faster and more heterogeneous with increasing water concentration. The accelerating effects of water on localized diffusion are also substantiated by QENS experiments. The water concentration in the DES is observed to control the solvation structure of lithium ions, with the ions becoming significantly hydrated at 20 wt % water. The formation of interwater and water-acetamide hydrogen bonds is observed. The increase in water concentration is found to increase the number of H-bonds; however, their lifetimes are found to decrease substantially. Similarly, the lifetimes of acetamide-lithium complexes are also found to be diminished by increasing water concentration. A power-law scaling relationship between lifetimes and diffusion constants is established, elucidating the extent of coupling between diffusive processes and hydrogen bonding and microscopic complexation. This study demonstrates the ability to use water as an agent to probe the role of structural relaxation and complex lifetimes of diffusive processes at different time and length scales.

Abstract
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations based on the Effective Fragment Potential (EFP) method are utilized to provide a comprehensive assessment of diffusion in liquid n-hexane. We decompose translational diffusion into components along and orthogonal to the long axis of the molecule. Rotational diffusion is decomposed into tumbling and spinning motions about this axis. Our analysis yields four corresponding diffusion coefficients which are related to diagonal entries in the complete 6 × 6 diffusion tensor accounting for the three rotational and three translational degrees of freedom and for the potential coupling between them. However, coupling between different degrees of freedom is expected to be minimal for a natural choice of the molecular body-fixed axis, so then off-diagonal entries in the tensor are negligible. This expectation is supported by a hydrodynamic analysis of the diffusion tensor which treats the liquid surrounding the molecule being tracked as a viscous continuum. Thus, the EFP MD analysis provides a comprehensive characterization of diffusion and also reveals expected shortcomings of the hydrodynamic treatment, particularly for rotational diffusion, when applied to neat liquids.

Abstract
The anomalous behavior of confined water at the nanoscale has remarkable implications in a number of nanotechnological applications. In this work, we analyze the effect of water self-diffusion on the dynamic properties of a solvated gadolinium-based paramagnetic complex, typically used for contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging. In particular, we examine the effect of silica-based nanostructures on water behavior in the proximity of the paramagnetic complex via atomistic simulations, and interpret the resulting tumbling dynamics in the light of the local solvent modification based on the Lipari-Szabo formalism and of the fractional Stokes-Einstein relation. It is found that the local water confinement induces an increased "stiffness" on the outer sphere of the paramagnetic complex, which eventually reduces its tumbling properties. These model predictions are found to explain well the relaxivity enhancement observed experimentally by confining paramagnetic complexes into porous nanoconstructs, and thus offer mechanistic guidelines to design improved contrast agents for imaging applications.

Abstract
Organic aerosol can adopt a wide range of viscosities, from liquid to glass, depending on the local humidity. In highly viscous droplets, the evaporation rates of organic components are suppressed to varying degrees, yet water evaporation remains fast. Here, we examine the coevaporation of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), along with their solvating water, from aerosol particles levitated in a humidity-controlled environment. To better replicate the composition of secondary aerosol, nonvolatile organics were also present, creating a three-component diffusion problem. Kinetic modeling reproduced the evaporation accurately when the SVOCs were assumed to obey the Stokes-Einstein relation, and water was not. Crucially, our methodology uses previously collected data to constrain the time-dependent viscosity, as well as water diffusion coefficients, allowing it to be predictive rather than postdictive. Throughout the study, evaporation rates were found to decrease as SVOCs deplete from the particle, suggesting path function type behavior.

Abstract
In many glass-forming liquids, fractional Stokes-Einstein relation (SER) is observed above the glass transition temperature. However, the origin of such phenomenon remains elusive. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the break- down of SER and the onset of fractional SER in a model of metallic glass-forming liquid. We find that SER breaks down when the size of the largest cluster consisting of trapped atoms starts to increase sharply at which the largest cluster spans half of the simulations box along one direction, and the fractional SER starts to follows when the largest cluster percolates the entire system and forms 3-dimentional network structures. Further analysis based on the percolation theory also confirms that percolation occurs at the onset of the fractional SER. Our results directly link the breakdown of the SER with structure inhomogeneity and onset of the fraction SER with percolation of largest clusters, thus provide a possible picture for the break- down of SER and onset of fractional SER in glass-forming liquids, which is is important for the understanding of the dynamic properties in glass-forming liquids.

Abstract
Recent progress in the description of glassy relaxation and aging are reviewed for the wide class of network-forming materials such as GeO2, Ge x Se1-x , silicates (SiO2-Na2O) or borates (B2O3-Li2O), all of which have an important usefulness in domestic, geological or optoelectronic applications. A brief introduction of the glass transition phenomenology is given, together with the salient features that are revealed both from theory and experiments. Standard experimental methods used for the characterization of the slowing down of the dynamics are reviewed. We then discuss the important role played by aspects of network topology and rigidity for the understanding of the relaxation of the glass transition, while also permitting analytical predictions of glass properties from simple and insightful models based on the network structure. We also emphasize the great utility of computer simulations which probe the dynamics at the molecular level, and permit the calculation of various structure-related functions in connection with glassy relaxation and the physics of aging which reveal the non-equilibrium nature of glasses. We discuss the notion of spatial variations of structure which leads to the concept of 'dynamic heterogeneities', and recent results in relation to this important topic for network glasses are also reviewed.

Abstract
We perform molecular dynamics simulations for viscous liquids to study the relations between dynamical heterogeneity, structural (α) relaxation, and self-diffusion. For atomistic models of supercooled water, polymer melts, and an ionic liquid, we characterize the space-time characteristics of dynamical heterogeneity by the degree of deviations from Gaussian displacement statistics (α2), the size of clusters comprising highly mobile particles (S(w)), and the length of strings consisting of cooperatively moving particles (L(w)). Comparison of our findings with previous simulation results for a large variety of viscous liquids, ranging from monoatomic liquids to silica melt, reveals a nearly universal decoupling between the time scales of maximum non-Gaussian parameter (τ(α2)) and the time constant of the α relaxation (τ(α)) upon cooling, explicitly, τ(α2) ∝τ(α)(3/4). Such uniform relation was not observed between the peak times of S(w) or L(w) and τ(α). On the other hand, the temperature-dependent time scale of maximum string length (τ(L)) follows the inverse of the self-diffusion coefficient (D) for various systems at sufficiently low temperatures, i.e., τ(L) ∝ D(-1). These observations are discussed in view of a breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation for the studied systems. It is found that the degree of deviation from this relation is correlated with the stretching of the α relaxation.

Abstract
The Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) expression is used routinely to relate orientational molecular diffusivity quantitatively to viscosity. However, it is well-known that Einstein's equations are derived from hydrodynamic theory for the diffusion of a Brownian particle in a homogeneous fluid and examples of SED breakdown and failure for molecular diffusion are not unusual. Here, using optical Kerr-effect spectroscopy to measure orientational diffusion for solutions of guanidine hydrochloride in water and mixtures of carbon disulfide with hexadecane, we show that these two contrasting systems each show pronounced exception to the SED relation and ask if it is reasonable to expect molecular diffusion to be a simple function of viscosity.

Abstract
We discuss the role of the dynamic glass-forming fragile-to-strong crossover (FSC) in supercooled liquids. In the FSC, significant dynamic changes such as the decoupling (the violation of the Stokes-Einstein relation) of homologous transport parameters, e.g., the density relaxation time τ and the viscosity η, occur at a characteristic temperature T(c). We study the FSC using a scaling law approach. In particular, we use both forms of the mode-coupling theory (MCT): the original (ideal) and the extended form, which explicitly describes energy hopping processes. We demonstrate that T(c) plays the most important physical role in understanding dynamic arrest processes.

Abstract
It is becoming common practice to partition glass-forming liquids into two classes based on the dependence of the shear viscosity η on temperature T. In an Arrhenius plot, ln η vs 1/T, a strong liquid shows linear behavior whereas a fragile liquid exhibits an upward curvature [super-Arrhenius (SA) behavior], a situation customarily described by using the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann law. Here we analyze existing data of the transport coefficients of 84 glass-forming liquids. We show the data are consistent, on decreasing temperature, with the onset of a well-defined dynamical crossover η(×), where η(×) has the same value, η(×) ≈ 10(3) Poise, for all 84 liquids. The crossover temperature, T(×), located well above the calorimetric glass transition temperature T(g), marks significant variations in the system thermodynamics, evidenced by the change of the SA-like T dependence above T(×) to Arrhenius behavior below T(×). We also show that below T(×) the familiar Stokes-Einstein relation D/T ∼ η(-1) breaks down and is replaced by a fractional form D/T ∼ η(-ζ), with ζ ≈ 0.85.

Connection of translational and rotational dynamical heterogeneities with the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein and Stokes-Einstein-Debye relations in water. PHYSICAL REVIEW.

Abstract
We study the Stokes-Einstein (SE) and the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) relations, Dt=kBT/6pietaR and Dr=kBT/8pietaR3, where Dt and Dr are the translational and rotational diffusivity, respectively, T is the temperature, eta the viscosity, kB the Boltzmann constant, and R the "molecular" radius. Our results are based on molecular dynamics simulations of the extended simple point charge model of water. We find that both the SE and SED relations break down at low temperature. To explore the relationship between these breakdowns and dynamical heterogeneities (DHs), we also calculate the SE and SED relations for subsets of the 7% "fastest" and 7% "slowest" molecules. We find that the SE and SED relations break down in both subsets, and that the breakdowns occur on all scales of mobility. Thus these breakdowns appear to be generalized phenomena, in contrast with a view where only the most mobile molecules are the origin of the breakdown of the SE and SED relations, embedded in an inactive background where these relations hold. At low temperature, the SE and SED relations in both subsets of molecules are replaced with "fractional" SE and SED relations, Dt approximately (tau/T)-xit and Dr approximately (tau/T)-xir, where xit approximately 0.84(<1) and xir approximately 0.75(<1). We also find that there is a decoupling between rotational and translational motion, and that this decoupling occurs in both the fastest and slowest subsets of molecules. Further, we find that, the decoupling increases upon cooling, but that the probability of a molecule being classified as both translationally and rotationally fastest also increases. To study the effect of time scale for SE and SED breakdown and decoupling, we introduce a time-dependent version of the SE and SED relations, and a time-dependent function that measures the extent of decoupling. Our results suggest that both the decoupling and SE and SED breakdowns originate at a time scale corresponding to the end of the cage regime, when diffusion starts. This is also the time scale when the DHs are more relevant. Our work also demonstrates that selecting DHs on the basis of translational or rotational motion more strongly biases the calculation of diffusion constants than other dynamical properties such as relaxation times.

Abstract
The collective dynamics of liquid deuterium fluoride are studied by means of high-resolution quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering over a range of four decades in energy transfer. The spectra show a low-energy coherent quasielastic component which arises from correlated stochastic motions as well as a broad inelastic feature originating from overdamped density oscillations. While these results are at variance with previous works which report on the presence of propagating collective modes, they are fully consistent with neutron diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, and infrared/Raman experiments on this prototypical hydrogen-bonded fluid.

Abstract
The ultrafast rotational-diffusive dynamics of the peptide linkage model compounds N-methylacetamide (NMA), acetamide (Ac), and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) have been studied as a function of temperature using optically heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect (OHD-OKE) spectroscopy. Both NMA and Ac exhibit a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the rotational diffusive relaxation time. By contrast, the non-hydrogen-bonding DMA exhibits normal hydrodynamic behavior. The unusual dynamics of NMA and Ac are attributed to the decoupling of single-molecule rotational diffusive relaxation from the shear viscosity via a transition between stick and slip boundary conditions, which arises from local heterogeneity in the liquid due to the formation of hydrogen-bonded chains or clusters. This provides new insight into the structure and dynamics of an important peptide model compound and the first instance of such a phenomenon in a room-temperature liquid. The OHD-OKE responses of carboxylic acids acetic acid (AcOH) and dichloroacetic acid (DCA) are also reported. These, along with the terahertz Raman spectra, show no evidence of the effects observed in amide systems, but display trends consistent with the presence of an equilibrium between the linear and cyclic dimer structures at all temperatures and moderate-to-high mole fractions in aqueous solution. This equilibrium manifests itself as hydrodynamic behavior in the liquid phase.
