Abstract: | Recent experiments have demonstrated that the dynamics in liquids close to the glass transition temperature is strongly heterogeneous. The characteristic size of these heterogeneities has been measured to be a few nanometers at T g. We extend here a recent model for describing the heterogeneous nature of the dynamics which allows both to derive this length scale and the right orders of magnitude of the heterogeneities of the dynamics close to the glass transition. Our model allows then to interpret quantitatively small probes diffusion experiments. Received 29 March 2002 and Received in final form 11 November 2002 RID="a" ID="a"e-mail: long@lps.u-psud.fr |
