玻璃形成液体中无序临界点的证据

Evidence for a disordered critical point in a glass-forming liquid

Ludovic Berthier, Robert L. Jack

摘要:

利用计算机模拟的原子态玻璃形成液体,我们调查的流体配置和淬火参考系之间的重叠的波动。我们发现,随着温度的降低,大的波动的重叠发展,符合随机临界点的存在,这是预测的有效场论。我们讨论了假定的临界点附近的波动标度,比较观察到的行为与随机场伊辛模型。我们认为,这个临界点直接揭示了存在的非晶亚稳态,平衡松弛和非平衡熔融稳定的玻璃配置相关的数量之间的界面张力。

英文摘要:

Using computer simulations of an atomistic glass-forming liquid, we investigate the fluctuations of the overlap between a fluid configuration and a quenched reference system. We find that large fluctuations of the overlap develop as temperature decreases, consistent with the existence of the random critical point that is predicted by effective field theories. We discuss the scaling of fluctuations near the presumed critical point, comparing the observed behaviour with that of the random-field Ising model. We argue that this critical point directly reveals the existence of an interfacial tension between amorphous metastable states, a quantity relevant both for equilibrium relaxation and for nonequilibrium melting of stable glass configurations.
