Scaling of broadband dielectric data of glass-forming liquids and plastic crystals
نویسنده
چکیده
The Nagel-scaling and the modified scaling procedure proposed recently by Dendzik et al. have been applied to broadband dielectric data on two glass-forming liquids (glycerol and propylene carbonate) and three plastic crystals (ortho-carborane, meta-carborane, and 1-cyano-adamantane). At the highest frequencies investigated, deviations from a single master curve show up which are most pronounced in the Dendzik-scaling plot. The loss curves of the plastic crystals do not scale in the Nagelplot, but they fall onto a separate master curve in the Dendzik-plot. The question of a possible divergence of the static susceptibility at low temperatures is discussed. PACS numbers: 77.22.Gm, 64.70.Pf

Cooperativity and heterogeneity in plastic crystals studied by nonlinear dielectric spectroscopy.
The glassy dynamics of plastic-crystalline cyclo-octanol and ortho-carborane, where only the molecular reorientational degrees of freedom freeze without long-range order, is investigated by nonlinear dielectric spectroscopy. Marked differences to canonical glass formers show up: While molecular cooperativity governs the glassy freezing, it leads to a much weaker slowing down of molecular dynami...
متن کاملFrequency-domain study of α-relaxation in the Random Orthogonal Model
The time-dependent susceptibility for the finite-size mean-field Random Orthogonal model (ROM) is studied numerically for temperatures above the mode-coupling temperature. The results show that the imaginary part of the susceptibility χ(ν) obeys the scaling form proposed for glass-forming liquids with the peak frequency decreasesing as the temperature is lowered consistently with the Vogel-Fulc...
متن کاملRelaxation dynamics and ionic conductivity in a fragile plastic crystal.
We report a thorough characterization of the dielectric relaxation behavior and the ionic conductivity in the plastic-crystalline mixture of 60% succinonitrile and 40% glutaronitrile. The plastic phase can be easily supercooled and the relaxational behavior is investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy in the liquid, plastic crystalline, and glassy crystal phases. The α-relaxation found ...
متن کاملActivation volume of selected liquid crystals in the density scaling regime
In this paper, we demonstrate and thoroughly analyze the activation volumetric properties of selected liquid crystals in the nematic and crystalline E phases in comparison with those reported for glass-forming liquids. In the analysis, we have employed and evaluated two entropic models (based on either total or configurational entropies) to describe the longitudinal relaxation times of the liqu...
متن کاملDivergent dynamics and the Kauzmann temperature in glass forming systems
In the last decade the challenging analysis of previtreous behavior of relaxation time (τ(T)) in ultraviscous low molecular weight liquids led to the conceptual shift of the glass transition physics toward theories not predicting a "finite-temperature" divergence. This "breakthrough" experimental finding was strengthened by the discovery that "dynamic" (i.e. from τ(T) fitting) and "thermodynami...
