Strong pretransitional anomaly near glass transition

Soft Condensed Matter 2022-06-22 v1 Disordered Systems and Neural Networks

Abstract

In this report we present the first ever results of strong pretransitional effect observed for the maximum of absorption peak ϵmax(T){\epsilon}_{max}^{''}(T) in supercooled liquid-crystalline systems near the glass transition temperature. This anomaly may be described by critical-like relation with critical exponent {\alpha}=0.5, which corresponds well with previous results for static electric permittivity ϵs(T){\epsilon}_{s}(T). Such a behaviour may suggest thermodynamic character of glass transition.
