Mode-coupling theory (MCT) is conjectured to be a mean-field description of dynamics of the structural glass transition and the replica theory to be its thermodynamic counterpart. However, the relationship between the two theories remains…
Glasses are solid materials whose constituent atoms are arranged in a disordered manner. The transition from a liquid to a glass remains one of the most poorly understood phenomena in condensed matter physics, and still no fully microscopic…
