چکیده

Thermoviscoelastic linear-response functions are calculated from the master equation describing viscous liquid inherent dynamics. From the imaginary parts of the frequency-dependent isobaric specific heat, isothermal compressibility, and isobaric thermal expansion coefficient, we define a "linear dynamic Prigogine-Defay ratio" LambdaTp(omega) with the property that if LambdaTp(omega)=1 at one frequency, then LambdaTp(omega) is unity at all frequencies. This happens if and only if there is a single-order-parameter description of the thermoviscoelastic linear responses via an order parameter (which may be nonexponential in time). Generalizations to other cases of thermodynamic control parameters than temperature and pressure are also presented.

Predicting the density-scaling exponent of a glass-forming liquid from Prigogine-Defay ratio measurements

Understanding the origin of the dramatic temperature and density dependence of the relaxation time of glass-forming liquids is a fundamental challenge in glass science. The recently established “density-scaling” relation quantifies the relative importance of temperature and density for the relaxation time in terms of a material-dependent exponent. We show that this exponent for approximate sing...

Feasibility of a single-parameter description of equilibrium viscous liquid dynamics.

Molecular dynamics results for the dynamic Prigogine-Defay ratio are presented for two glass-forming liquids, thus evaluating the experimentally relevant quantity for testing whether metastable-equilibrium liquid dynamics is described by a single parameter to a good approximation. For the Kob-Andersen binary Lennard-Jones mixture as well as for an asymmetric dumbbell model liquid, a single-para...

Critical-like behaviour of glass-forming liquids.

Recently it has been revealed that when approaching the glass-transition temperature, T(g), the dynamics of a liquid not only drastically slows down, but also becomes progressively more heterogeneous. From our simulations and experiments of six different glass-forming liquids, we find that the heterogeneous dynamics is a result of critical-like fluctuations of static structural order, contrary ...

Communication: Identical temperature dependence of the time scales of several linear-response functions of two glass-forming liquids.

The frequency-dependent dielectric constant, shear and adiabatic bulk moduli, longitudinal thermal expansion coefficient, and longitudinal specific heat have been measured for two van der Waals glass-forming liquids, tetramethyl-tetraphenyl-trisiloxane (DC704) and 5-polyphenyl-4-ether. Within the experimental uncertainties the loss-peak frequencies of the measured response functions have identi...

Minimal model for Beta relaxation in viscous liquids.

Contrasts between beta relaxation in equilibrium viscous liquids and glasses are rationalized in terms of a double-well potential model with structure-dependent asymmetry, assuming structure is described by a single order parameter. The model is tested for tripropylene glycol where it accounts for the hysteresis of the dielectric beta loss peak frequency and magnitude during cooling and reheati...
