The structural glass transition and the entropy of the metastable states

arXiv:cond-mat/9503166 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.75.2847

Abstract

The metastable states of a glass are counted by adding a weak pinning field which explicitly breaks the ergodicity. Their entropy, that is the logarithm of their number, is extensive in a range of temperatures only, where and correspond to the ideal calorimetric and kinetic glass transition temperatures respectively. An explicit self-consistent computation of the metastable states entropy for a non disordered model is given.
