چکیده

The Gemant-DiMarzio-Bishop model, which connects the frequency-dependent shear modulus to the frequency-dependent dielectric constant, is reviewed and a new consistent macroscopic formulation is derived. It is moreover shown that this version of the model can be tested without fitting parameters. The reformulated version of the model is analyzed and experimentally tested. It is demonstrated that the model has several nontrivial qualitative predictions: the existence of an elastic contribution to the high-frequency limit of the dielectric constant, a shift of the shear modulus loss peak frequency to higher frequencies compared with the loss peak frequency of the dielectric constant, a broader alpha peak, and a more pronounced beta peak in the shear modulus when compared with the dielectric constant. It is shown that these predictions generally agree with experimental findings and it is therefore suggested that the Gemant-DiMarzio-Bishop model is correct on a qualitative level. The quantitative agreement between the model and the data is on the other hand moderate to poor. It is discussed if a model-free comparison between the dielectric and shear mechanical relaxations is relevant, and it is concluded that the shear modulus should be compared with the rotational dielectric modulus, 1(epsilon(omega)-n2), which is extracted from the Gemant-DiMarzio-Bishop model, rather than to the dielectric susceptibility or the conventional dielectric modulus M=1epsilon(omega).

Shear and dielectric responses of propylene carbonate, tripropylene glycol, and a mixture of two secondary amides.

Propylene carbonate and a mixture of two secondary amides, N-methylformamide and N-ethylacetamide, are investigated by means of broadband dielectric and mechanical shear spectroscopy. The similarities between the rheological and the dielectric responses of these liquids and of the previously investigated tripropylene glycol are discussed within a simple approach that employs an electrical circu...

Dielectric and shear mechanical alpha and beta relaxations in seven glass-forming liquids.

We present shear mechanical and dielectric measurements taken on seven liquids: triphenylethylene, tetramethyltetra-phenyltrisiloxane (Dow Corning 704 diffusion pump fluid), polyphenyl ether (Santovac 5 vacuum pump fluid), perhydrosqualene, polybutadiene, decahydroisoquinoline (DHIQ), and tripropylene glycol. The shear mechanical and dielectric measurements are for each liquid performed under i...

A new interpretation of dielectric data in molecular glass formers.

Literature dielectric data of glycerol, propylene carbonate, and ortho-terphenyl show that the measured dielectric relaxation is a decade faster than the Debye expectation but still a decade slower than the breakdown of the shear modulus. From a comparison of time scales, the dielectric relaxation seems to be due to a process which relaxes not only the molecular orientation but also the entropy...

A cryostat and temperature control system optimized for measuring relaxations of glass-forming liquids.

An experimental setup, including a cryostat and a temperature control system, has been constructed to meet the demands of measuring linear and nonlinear macroscopic relaxation properties of glass-forming liquids in the extremely viscous state approaching the glass transition. In order to be able to measure such frequency-dependent response functions accurately (including dielectric permittivity...

Mechanical spectra of glass-forming liquids. II. Gigahertz-frequency longitudinal and shear acoustic dynamics in glycerol and DC704 studied by time-domain Brillouin scattering.

This paper presents and discusses the temperature and frequency dependence of the longitudinal and shear viscoelastic response at MHz and GHz frequencies of the intermediate glass former glycerol and the fragile glass former tetramethyl-tetraphenyl-trisiloxane (DC704). Measurements were performed using the recently developed time-domain Brillouin scattering technique, in which acoustic waves ar...
