An extensive finite-size scaling analysis demonstrates the existence of a random-field Ising model (RFIM) critical point and of a first-order transition line, in agreement with field-theoretical approaches. The dynamics in the vicinity of this critical point resembles the peculiar activated scaling of RFIM-like systems, and the overlap autocorrelation displays a logarithmic stretching. Our study firmly establishes the RFIM criticality in three-dimensional supercooled liquids at equilibrium.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-22T13:18:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random-field ising model criticality", "glass-forming liquid", "finite-size scaling analysis demonstrates", "first-order transition line", "supercooled liquid" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
