  The dynamics of glass formation in monatomic and binary liquids are studied
numerically using a microscopic field theory for the evolution of the
time-averaged atomic number density. A stochastic framework combining phase
field crystal free energies and dynamic density functional theory is shown to
successfully describe several aspects of glass formation over multiple time
scales. Agreement with mode coupling theory is demonstrated for underdamped
liquids at moderate supercoolings, and a rapidly growing dynamic correlation
length is found to be associated with fragile behavior.
