Entropic droplets and activated events near the glass transition of a random heteropolymer
Shoji Takada, Peter G. Wolynes
Abstract
The barriers between metastable states near the glass transition of a random heteropolymer are studied using replicas by describing inhomogeneous states. The instanton solution for a replica space free energy functional is found numerically to estimate the size of activation barriers and of the critical nuclei themselves between the dynamic and the static glass transition temperatures.
