Heat capacity at the glass transition
A fundamental problem of glass transition is to provide a quantitative and microscopic explanation of the heat-capacity jump at the glass transition temperature Tg . Similar problems are also common to other disordered systems, including spin glasses. We propose that the jump of heat capacity at Tg takes place as a result of the change of the liquid’s elastic, vibrational, and thermal propertie...
متن کاملNonmonotonic temperature dependence of heat capacity through the glass transition within a kinetic model.
The heat capacity of a supercooled liquid subjected to a temperature cycle through its glass transition is studied within a kinetic model. In this model, the beta process is assumed to be thermally activated and described by a two-level system. The alpha process is described as a beta relaxation mediated cooperative transition in a double well. The overshoot of the heat capacity during the heat...
متن کاملHeat capacity and glass transition in P2O5-H2O solutions: support for Mishima's conjecture on solvent water at low temperature.
The P(2)O(5)-water system has the widest range of continuously glass-forming compositions known for any glassformer + water binary system. Despite the great range of structures explored by the glasses and liquids in this system, the glass transition temperature (T(g)) itself varies in a simple monotonic fashion. However the values of T(g) reported in the literature show wide disagreement, linke...
متن کاملExcitation chains at the glass transition.
The excitation-chain theory of the glass transition, proposed in an earlier publication, predicts diverging, super-Arrhenius relaxation times and, via a similarly diverging length scale, suggests a way of understanding the relations between dynamic and thermodynamic properties of glass-forming liquids. I argue here that critically large excitation chains play a role roughly analogous to that pl...
متن کاملLow-temperature excess heat capacity in fresnoite glass and crystal
The effect of thermal annealing on low-temperature excess heat capacity was investigated in fresnoite (Ba2TiSi2O8) glass. The amplitudes of the excess heat capacity decreased, and their positions shifted to a higher temperature by relaxation or crystallization. In particular, we revealed that the change in the excess heat capacity during transition from the glassy state to the crystalline state...
