Finite size effects in the specific heat of glass-formers

L. A. Fernandez, V. Martin-Mayor, P. Verrocchio

Published 2005-12-16Version 1

We report clear finite size effects in the specific heat and in the relaxation times of a model glass former at temperatures considerably smaller than the Mode Coupling transition. A crucial ingredient to reach this result is a new Monte Carlo algorithm which allows us to reduce the relaxation time by two order of magnitudes. These effects signal the existence of a large correlation length in static quantities.
