ABSTRACTWe discuss some aspects of the links between the behaviour and theory of spin glasses and that of structural glasses of the fragile type. We review the present status of the conjecture according to which a certain class of spin glass mean field theories (those with first order transitions) could provide a mean field theory for the glass transition. Recent developments pointing in that direction include the existence of spin glasses without disorder, and the general link between Mode-Coupling Theory (MCT) and the motion of a particle in a random potential. This link enables one to generalize the MCT equations for temperatures below the glass transition, and to describe aging effects. We compare these results with those obtained within more phonomonological ‘trap’ models.

ABSTRACTImpulsive stimulated thermal scattering (ISTS), a time-domain light scattering technique, provides a more than 6-decade time range from sub-ns to many ms. It permits characterization of the structural relaxation dynamics and determination of the relaxation strength or Debye-Waller factor in supercooled liquids, and thus allows testing of the mode coupling theory of the liquidglass transition. ISTS experiments were performed on glass formers salol, butylbenzene, and the molten salt [Ca(N03)]0.4[KNO3]0.6. The relaxational dynamics and the Debye-Waller factorfq=0 were obtained. A square-root anomaly was observed in fq=0 (T) at a crossover temperature Tc for all three materials, consistent with the prediction of mode coupling theory.
