Extended Data Fig. 4: The spatial decay of the correlation of structural order parameters.

a-c, The temperature dependences of g12(r)/g(r), g8(r)/g(r), and g6(r)/g(r) for liquid I, liquid II, and PHD, respectively. The dashed lines represent fits to the OZ functions, from which we determine the structural correlation length ξ12, ξ8, and ξ6. We can see the increase of the structural correlation length upon cooling for the three liquids. The correlation lengths estimated in this manner are presented in Fig. 2f-h.
