Abstract

We have looked for evidence of a correlation length in a molecular-dynamics simulation of the glass transition. We have studied the correlation functions of both the translational order of particle positions and the orientational order of nearest-neighbor bond angles; and have seen no indication of a diverging length scale. We also present data from the simulation; which extend recent laboratory measurements of the frequency-dependent specific heat and thermal conductivity.
