In glass physics, order parameters have long been used in the thermodynamic description of glasses, but the nature is not yet clear. The difficulty is how to find order in disordered systems. The usual treatment of glass as an exceptional…
A directly measurable correlation length may be defined for systems having a two-step relaxation, based on the geometric properties of density profile that remains after averaging out the fast motion. We argue that the length diverges if…
