Structural signal of a dynamic glass transition.

چکیده
Pentaphenyl trimethyl trisiloxane is an isotropic liquid at room temperature with a dynamic glass transition at 224 K. Using x-ray reflectivity, we see surface density oscillations (layers) develop below 285 K, similar to those seen in other metallic and dielectric liquids and in computer simulations. The layering threshold is approximately 0.23 times the liquid-gas critical temperature. Upon cooling further, there is a sharp increase at 224 K in the persistence of the surface layers into the bulk material, i.e., an apparently discontinuous change in static structure at the glass transition.

A constant volume, atmospheric pressure Zr/Ba/Na fluoride glass has been simulated by molecular dynamics with the limitations of the Born-Mayer-Huggins potentials, used previously and resulting in high simulation pressures, having been overcome. The simulated structure of this glass as well as its activation energy for diffusion are in very good agreement with those experimentally observed. T...
