| Abstract |
Nuclear quantum effects in atomic motions are well known at low temperatures [Formula: see text] K, but analyses of structural relaxation in liquids and description of the glass transition traditionally neglect quantum effects at higher temperatures, [Formula: see text] K. Recent studies, however, suggested that nuclear quantum effects in systems of light molecules (e.g., water) might play an important role in structural dynamics and provide non-negligible contributions at such temperatures, and even up to ambient temperature. In this article, we discuss experimental evidences of the quantum effects in glass transition in liquids of light molecules and possible theoretical descriptions of these effects. We show that quantum effects may qualitatively change the temperature behavior of the structural relaxation time in supercooled liquids leading to deviations of some well-established properties of the glass transition when it happens at low temperatures. We also demonstrate that unusual behavior of water dynamics at low temperatures, including apparent fragile-to-strong crossover, can be ascribed to nuclear quantum effects. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 May 2017.
All research outputs
#4,337,324
of 23,498,099 outputs
Outputs from The European Physical Journal E
#138
of 650 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#75,317
of 314,805 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The European Physical Journal E
#4
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,498,099 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 650 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 314,805 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
