Solvable models of Glass Transition

Materials Science 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Simple statistical agglomeration models can provide a universal link between the local structure and the glass transition temperature in network glasses. We first stress the physical features of the models and the hypothesis made, and then show how to define the glass transition temperature. The models are applied to various types of binary, ternary and multicomponent chalcogenide glass networks and the predictions compared to experimental data.
