Abstract

Qualitative features of the predictions of the mode-coupling theory of glass transition are compared with the observed behaviour of good glass formers. In particular, the validity of the idealisation of a sharp glass transitions, which is independent of the rate of cooling, is examined critically. A possible extension of the theory is indicated, by which the variability of glass structure on changing the conditions of cooling could be taken into account.
