Abstract: | A metastable state, characterized by a low degree of mass localization, is identified using density-functional theory (DFT). This free energy minimum, located through the proper evaluation of competing terms in the free energy functional, is independent of the specific form of the DFT used. Computer simulation results on particle motion indicate that this heterogeneous state corresponds to the deeply supercooled state. |
