Abstract
Entropic barriers, activated hopping, and the glass transition in colloidal suspensions were investigated. Thermal fluctuations were included via a random force which restored ergodicity through activated barrier hopping. Results showed multiple connections between thermodynamics, short-time dynamics in the nearly localized state, and long-time relaxation by entropic barrier crossing.
