Hidden order in supercooled liquids

Dynamic heterogeneity is considered to be a clue to the mechanism of the liquid-glass transition, but the physical origin of dynamic heterogeneity has not been clarified. Recent numerical studies and experiments demonstrated the existence of medium-range crystalline order (MRCO) in supercooled liquids, and suggested that MRCO may be the origin of dynamic heterogeneity.

Absence of static spatial density correlation

The Message of our workContrary to the common belief, we demonstrate that there is ‘static’ heterogeneity in an instantaneous structure of a supercooled liquid, if we look it through the proper order parameter, and it is the origin of ‘dynamic heterogeneity’. However, since medium-range crystalline order (MRCO) does not accompany the density change, MRCO cannot be detected by the static two-body density correlator. We propose that slow dynamics is caused by the critical-like divergence of MRCO toward the ideal glass transition point. This scenario suggests an intriguing link between glass-transition and critical phenomena.

There is no indication of static density correlation in S(q) in the region of q ~ 1/ξ. Instead, there are shoulders in the main peak and splitting of the second peak.The fact that MRCO does not accompany any density change means that MRCO cannot be detected by the two-point density correlator.
