Response to "Comment on Static correlations functions and domain walls in glass-forming liquids: The case of a sandwich geometry" [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 227101 (2016)]

Abstract

The point-to-set correlation function has proved to be a very valuable tool to probe structural correlations in disordered systems, but more than that, its detailed behavior has been used to try to draw information on the mechanisms leading to glassy behavior in supercooled liquids. For this reason it is of primary importance to discern which of those details are peculiar to glassy systems, and which are general features of confinement. Within the present response we provide an answer to the concerns raised in [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 227101 (2016)].
