From: Interference between the glass, gel, and gas-liquid transitions
(a) Dynamic arrest transitions of the HSAY liquid (z = 2) from ref.20: liquid-glass (solid line) and gel-glass (dashed line) transitions, and “type A” dynamic arrest transition (dotted line), which coincides with the spinodal line T = Ts(ϕ) to the left of the bifurcation point (solid diamond). Downward arrows 1–3 represent instantaneous temperature quenches discussed in the text. (b) Thick solid line: waiting-time dependence of the (inverse) mobility b(t) for quench 1 (final temperature Tf(1) = 0.6), exhibiting the plateau bl(Tf) lasting a latency time tl(Tf). The other lines correspond to other values of Tf in the neighborhood but below (softer solid lines) and above (dashed line) the spinodal. The inset compares the predicted divergence tl(T) ∝ (1 − T/Ts)−2.5 (solid line) with the experimental data of ref.14 (circles), fitted by the same power law (dashed line).
