Dynamical Facilitation Governs the Equilibration Dynamics of Glasses

Convincing evidence of domain growth in the heating of ultrastable glasses suggests that the equilibration dynamics of supercooled liquids could be driven by a nucleation and growth mechanism. We investigate this possibility by simulating the equilibration dynamics of a model glass during both heati...
