A toy model mimicking cage effect, structural fluctuations and kinetic   constraints in supercooled liquids
  The cage effect is widely accepted as the basic microscopic mechanism underlying the physics of supercooled liquids in contrast with usual liquids which are governed by molecular interactions only. In this work we implement a new toy model coined to reproduce the cage effect with variants including structural fluctuations and kinetic constraints. We use this new model to investigate which glass-transition features are directly due to the cage effect and which are due to more complex mechanisms.
