57. Equation (9) and our general approach are distinct from the early study by R. Hall and P. G. Wolynes, J. Chem. Phys. 86, 2943 (1987). These workers employed equilibrium DFT and the aperiodic crystal picture of glasses to estimate barriers from knowledge of a single-particle localization length and a mean spatial separation between parabolic local minima on a free-energy surface. In practice, the latter property was treated an adjustable fit parameter.
58. In the infinite-displacement limit the ideal free energy based on the strong localization approximation diverges to negative infinity. From a practical perspective, this does not cause problems in our analysis, which is restricted to describing localization and escape over the barrier, and involves displacements of order the particle diameter and much less. A more accurate treatment of the ideal free energy might be achieved based on recent work within a thermodynamic DFT framework [see, for example, C. Kaur and S. P. Das, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2062 (2001)]. However, this involves system-specific technical complexities including the need for an explicit description of the glass structure at the pair correlation level. Such an elaboration also does not seem warranted at present since our Langevin EOM approach has not been generalized to account for non-Markovian friction and explicit prediction of the long-time diffusion constant.
