摘要

玻璃作为一种材料在古埃及就已经为人所知。现在它用于窗户，瓶子等是很常见的;因此，物质的玻璃态和从过冷熔体到这种状态的转变是物理学的重大挑战问题，这听起来可能令人惊讶。本文介绍了基本概念;然后指出“自旋玻璃”的发现和乔治·帕里西的理论如何给这些问题的兴趣注入了新的动力。本文将批判性地讨论玻璃化转变理论的地位。

The glass transition: How do complex craggy free energy landscapes emerge?

Glass as a material was already known in ancient Egypt. Now its use for windows, bottles, etc. is very common; thus, it may sound surprising that the glassy state of matter and the transition from an undercooled melt to this state are grand challenge problems of physics. This article describes the basic concepts; then it points out how the discovery of “spin glasses” and the theory by Giorgio Parisi has given a new boost to the interest in these problems. The status of a theory of the glass transition will be critically discussed.

期刊介绍： Europhysics News is the magazine of the European physics community. It is owned by the European Physical Society and produced in cooperation with EDP Sciences. It is distributed to all our Individual Members and many institutional subscribers. Most European national societies receive EPN for further distribution. The total circulation is currently about 25000 copies per issue. It aims to provide physicists at all levels, ranging from post graduate students to senior managers working in both industry and the public sector, with a balanced overview of the scientific and organizational aspects of physics and related disciplines at a European level. Sections covered: ◦Activities ◦Features ◦News and views
