A divergent correlation length in off-equilibrium glasses
Abstract
Description
In off-equilibrium dynamics we define a dynamical correlation length which is proportional to the size of the region in which the atoms move in a correlated way. General arguments indicate that this dynamical correlation length diverges at large times in the glassy phase. Numerical simulations for binary mixtures point toward the correctness of this prediction.
