In this paper, a formalism for the activation volume of glass forming materials is suggested. An isothermal equation of state for the activation volume is formulated, which is extended to a generalized equation of state that describes the…
This report shows the universal previtreous behavior of the pressure related apparent fragility, i.e. the steepness index Basing on this finding, the 3-parameter relation for portraying the previtreous behavior of the primary (structural)…
Sizable glass formers feature numerous unique properties and potential applications, but many questions regarding their glass transition dynamics have not been resolved yet. Here we analyzed structural relaxation times measured as a…
We explore the nature of glass-formation in variable spatial dimensionality ($d$) based on the generalized entropy theory, a synthesis of the Adam-Gibbs model with direct computation of the configurational entropy of polymer fluids using an…
Complex permittivity studies on glassy poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (1/1) at proper pressure-temperature condition, provide the activation volume and energy values for both dc conductivity and \b{eta}-relaxation. The…
We theoretically investigate physical properties of the pressure-induced activation volume and dynamic decoupling of ternidazole, glycerol, and probucol by the Elastically Collective Nonlinear Langevin Equation theory. Based on the…
The effective potential formalism is applied to glass forming liquids, choosing a coupling potential such that the "order parameter", conjugated to the coupling strength, is the mean square displacement of the particles from their position…
Classification of glass-forming liquids based on the dramatic change in their properties upon approach to the glassy state is appealing, since this is the most conspicuous and often-studied aspect of the glass transition. Herein, we show…
Low-frequency Raman and inelastic neutron scattering of amorphous bis-phenol A polycarbonate is measured at low temperature, and compared. The vibrational density of states and light-vibration coupling coefficient are determined. The…
Rigidity plays an important role on the relaxation properties of glass forming melts, yet it is usually determined from the average co-ordination number through the chemical composition. A discussion is presented on how viscoelasticity can…
The magnitude of the high frequency, static dielectric permittivity is used to determine the density of tetramethyl tetraphenyl trisiloxane, a non-associated glass-forming liquid, as a function of temperature and pressure. We demonstrate…
We introduce simple models, inspired by previous models for froths and covalent glasses, with trivial equilibrium properties but dynamical behaviour characteristic of strong glass forming systems. These models are also a generalization of…
A comparative study is reported on the dynamics of a glass-forming epoxy resin when the glass transition is approached through different paths: cooling, compression, and polymerization. In particular, the influence of temperature, pressure…
A key property of glass forming alloys, the anomalously small volume difference with respect to the crystal, is shown to arise as a direct consequence of the soft repulsive potentials between metals. This feature of the inter-atomic…
The lack of ultimate scaling relations for previtreous changes of the primary relaxation time or viscosity in glass-forming systems constitutes the grand fundamental challenge, also hindering the development of relevant material engineering…
Using molecular dynamics simulation, we have calculated the pressure dependence of the diffusion constant in a binary Lennard-Jones Glass. We observe four temperature regimes. The apparent activation volume drops from high values in the hot…
Glassy dynamics was investigated for thin films of atactic polystyrene by complex electric capacitance measurements using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. During the isothermal aging process the real part of the electric capacitance…
The role of jamming (steric constraints) and its relationship to the available volume is addressed by examining the effect that certain modifications of a glass-former have on the ratio of its isochoric and isobaric activation enthalpies.…
Despite decades of studies on the grand problem of the glass transition the question of well-defined universal patterns, including the key problem of the previtreous behavior of the primary (structural) relaxation time, remains elusive.…
In simplified models of glasses we clarify the existence of two different kinds of activated dynamics, which coexist, with one of the two dominating over the other. One is the energy barrier hopping that is typically used to picture…
