Front propagation versus bulk relaxation in the annealing dynamics of a kinetically constrained model of ultrastable glasses

Glasses prepared by physical vapour deposition have been shown to be remarkably more stable than those prepared by standard cooling protocols, with properties that appear to be similar to systems aged for extremely long times. When subjected to a rapid rise in temperature, ultrastable glasses anneal...
