Questioning the relationship between the $\chi$4 susceptibility and the dynamical correlation length in a glass former

open access: yes, 2015
Clusters of fast and slow correlated particles, identified as dynamical heterogeneities (DHs), con-stitute a central aspect of glassy dynamics. A key ingredient of the glass transition scenario is asignificant increase of the cluster size $\xi$4 as the ...
