@article{ISI:000254473800045, abstract = {From numerical minimization of a model free-energy functional for a system of hard spheres, we show that the width of the local peaks of the time-averaged density field at a glassy free-energy minimum exhibits large spatial variation, similar to that of the ``local Debye-Waller factor″ in simulations of dynamical heterogeneity. Molecular dynamics simulations starting from a particle configuration generated from the density distribution at a glassy free-energy minimum show similar spatial heterogeneity in the degree of localization, implying a direct connection between dynamical heterogeneity and the structure of glassy free-energy minima.}, article-number = {125701}, author = {Chaudhuri, Pinaki and Karmakar, Smarajit and Dasgupta, Chandan}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.125701}, issn = {0031-9007}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, month = {MAR 28}, number = {12}, orcid-numbers = {Karmakar, Smarajit/0000-0002-5653-6328 Dasgupta, Chandan/0000-0002-0302-1881}, researcherid-numbers = {Chaudhuri, Pinaki/A-2673-2009 }, times-cited = {9}, title = {Signatures of dynamical heterogeneity in the structure of glassy free-energy minima}, unique-id = {ISI:000254473800045}, volume = {100}, year = {2008} }
