Abstract
We present results of molecular dynamics simulations performed on a Lennard-Jones liquidbinary mixture confined in matrices of soft spheres at increasing packing fraction. We studythe dynamical properties of the liquid at a given density upon supercooling. Our aim is totest the validity of the mode coupling theory in predicting the behaviour of the glassforming liquid when it is under confinement in a disordered matrix. We use two differentmethods to build up the confining environment. We focus in particular on thebehaviour of the single particle density correlators. We find a close agreement with themode coupling theory at least for all the range of packing fractions examined.Discrepancies between the theory and the computer simulation results can beattributed to hopping effects which are more important at increasing confinement.
