Diffusion in Glassy Systems

چکیده
The transport properties of glass-forming systems have many features that are not found in normal liquids. Among them is a very strong sensitivity of the relaxation times upon a change in temperature and the presence of so-called dynamical heterogeneities. In this review we discuss these unusual properties and present the results of a simple lattice gas model that helps to understand the origin of these heterogeneities from the microscopic level. Furthermore we discuss a simple analytical model, the continuous time random walk, and show that it allows to describe some aspects of the relaxation dynamics of glass-forming systems on a semi-quantitative level.

Electrocatalytic Determination of Isoniazid by a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Poly (Eriochrome Black T)
In this work poly eriochrome black T (EBT) was electrochemically synthesized on the glassy carbon electrode as electrode modifier. On the modified electrode, voltammetric behavior of isoniazid (INH) was investigated. The poly (EBT)-modified glassy carbon electrode has excellent electrocatalytic ability for the electrooxidation of isoniazid. This fact was appeared as a reduced overpotential of I...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic Oxidation of Hydrazine at Epinephrine Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode (EPMGCE).
A thin film of epinephrine (EP) was electrochemically deposited on the surface of glassy carbon electrode previously activated in NaHCO3 solution. The cyclic voltammograms of the modified electrode indicate that the surface confined EP are strongly dependent on the solution pH, as expected for quinone/hydroquinone functionalities. The EP-modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited...

In the present study, Nickel-Copper nanoparticles were electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by using electroplating deposition method. The prepared electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental mapping analysis. Results showed that Ni-Cu nanoparticles with a high density are distributed at the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. Subsequentl...
متن کاملDislocations and vacancies in two-dimensional mixed crystals of spheres and dimers.
In colloidal crystals of spheres, dislocation motion is unrestricted. On the other hand, recent studies of relaxation in crystals of colloidal dimer particles have demonstrated that the dislocation dynamics in such crystals are reminiscent of glassy systems. The observed glassy dynamics arise as a result of dislocation cages formed by certain dimer orientations. In the current study, we use exp...
متن کاملAnomalous yet Brownian.
We describe experiments using single-particle tracking in which mean-square displacement is simply proportional to time (Fickian), yet the distribution of displacement probability is not Gaussian as should be expected of a classical random walk but, instead, is decidedly exponential for large displacements, the decay length of the exponential being proportional to the square root of time. The f...
متن کاملJa n 19 99 Diffusion and Rheology in a Model of Glassy Materials
We study self-diffusion within a simple hopping model for glassy materials. (The model is Bouchaud's model of glasses [J. We investigate the breakdown, near the glass transition, of the (generalized) Stokes-Einstein relation between self-diffusion of a tracer particle and the (frequency-dependent) viscosity of the system as a whole. This stems from the presence of a broad distribution of relaxa...
