Abstract

Pure glass is defined as a thermodynamic phase in which typical equilibrium particle configurations have macroscopic overlaps with one of some special irregular configurations. By employing 128-types of artificial molecules, a pure glass model is constructed in the cubic lattice. It is demonstrated that one-step replica symmetry breaking occurs in the model.
