Nearly Logarithmic Decay of Correlations in Glass-Forming Liquids
Nearly Logarithmic Decay of Correlations in Glass-Forming Liquids
Nearly-logarithmic decay of correlations, which was observed for several supercooled liquids in optical-Kerr-effect experiments [G. Hinze et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2437(2000), H. Cang et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 197401 (2003)], is explained within the mode-coupling theory for ideal glass transitions as manifestation of the $\beta$-peak phenomenon. A …
