Landscapes, dynamic heterogeneity, and kinetic facilitation in a simple off-lattice model.
We present a simple off-lattice hard-disk model that exhibits glassy dynamics. The inherent structures are enumerated exactly, transitions between metabasins are well understood, and the particle configurations that act to facilitate dynamics are easily identified. The model readily maps to a coarse grained dynamic facilitation description.
