Nonequilibrium Phase Transition in an Atomistic Glassformer: The Connection to Thermodynamics

Tackling the low-temperature fate of supercooled liquids is challenging because of the immense time scales involved, which prevent equilibration and lead to the operational glass transition. Relating glassy behavior to an underlying, thermodynamic phase transition is a long-standing open question in...
