The following properties are in the present literature associated with the behavior of supercooled glass-forming liquids: faster than exponential growth of the relaxation time, dynamical heterogeneities, growing point-to-set correlation length, crossover from mean-field behavior to activated dynamics. In this paper we argue that these properties are also present in a much simpler situation, namely the melting of the bulk of an ordered phase beyond a first order phase transition point. This is a promising path toward a better theoretical, numerical and experimental understanding of the above phenomena and of the physics of supercooled liquids. We discuss in detail the analogies and the differences between the glass and the bulk melting transitions.
弛豫时间呈指数级增长、动力学非均质性、点集相关性长度增长、从平均场行为到激活动力学的转变。在本文中，我们认为这些性质也存在于一个简单得多的情况中，即有序相的体相在一级相变点之外的熔化。这是一种更深入理解上述现象和过冷液体物理的有前途的理论、数值和实验方法。我们详细讨论了玻璃化转变和体相熔化转变之间的相似性和差异。
