Nonequilibrium mode-coupling theory for uniformly sheared underdamped
systems
   [PDF]

Koshiro Suzuki, Hisao Hayakawa
Mode-coupling theory for uniformly sheared underdamped systems with an isothermal condition is presented. As a result of the isothermal condition, it is shown that the shear stress exhibits significant relaxation at the alpha-relaxation regime due to the cooling effect which is accompanied by the growth of the current fluctuation. This indicates that nonequilibrium underdamped MCT is not equivalent to the corresponding overdamped MCT, even at long time-scales after the early stage of the beta relaxation. It is verified that the effect of correlations to the density-current modes is, however, negligible in sheared thermostated underdamped systems.
