Older ideas based on `configurational entropy', on `fictive temperatures' and on Edwards' `compactivity' are sharpened and unified in an out of equilibrium context. The picture is such that it may be supported or disproved by an experimental test, which we describe.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-11-07T11:11:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "equilibrium systems", "experimental test", "equilibrium context", "configurational entropy", "structural glasses" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000cond.mat.11110K" } } }
