Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 135701 (2004) [4 pages]How Reproducible Are Dynamic Heterogeneities in a Supercooled Liquid?Received 12 May 2004; published 24 September 2004 The particle dynamics in a liquid exhibits a transient spatial distribution of dynamic heterogeneities. The relationship between this kinetic structure and the underlying particle configuration remains an outstanding problem. In this Letter, we present a general simulation technique for identifying the features of the dynamic heterogeneity which arise due to a specific configuration, as distinct from the random spatial variation due to the intermittent particle dynamics. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
