When T_c is approached from above, we calculate within the mode coupling framework a dynamic nonlinear susceptibility and show that there is a characteristic time where the susceptibility is a maximum, and that this time grows with decreasing T. We find that this susceptibility diverges as T_c is approached from above, and has key features in common with the ``displacement-displacement susceptibility'' recently introduced to measure correlated particle motion in simulations of glass-forming liquids.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "1999-12-16T18:15:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "correlation length", "non-linear susceptibility", "four-point density correlation function", "static nonlinear susceptibility", "structural glass transition" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999cond.mat..5433D" } } }
