We find competition among a localized and a delocalized phase, that are separated by a coexistence line as in ordinary first order phase transitions. The coexistence line terminates in a critical point. We present numerical simulations for binary glasses in which show that this scenario is realized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-11-21T10:34:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "glassy systems", "effective potential", "simulations", "ordinary first order phase transitions", "coexistence line terminates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
