We present some of the results obtained in the framework of spin-glass models and Lennard-Jones glasses. We discuss how to generalize the standard Stillinger and Weber approach by including the entropy of inherent structures. Finally we discuss why this approach is probably insufficient to describe the behavior of some kinetically constrained models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2001-11-02T09:22:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "slow glassy dynamics", "configurational entropy", "inherent structure approach", "weber approach", "short introduction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
