On the Theory of Relaxation in the Glass Transition Region
نویسنده
چکیده
To begin with, relaxation equations will be generally examined within the framework of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The relaxation in the glass transition region specifically proves to be a non-linear process which resembles an accelerated or retarded autocatalytic reaction. Therefore it is physically not very useful to split the relaxation in the glass transition region into a sum of linear relaxation mechanisms. The linear response theory and the concept of normal modes lose their validity.

Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of Kob-Anderson binary Lennard-Jones (BLJ) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. The presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...

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...

We have performed a detailed dielectric investigation of the relaxational dynamics of glass-forming benzophenone. Our measurements cover a broad frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 120 GHz and temperatures from far below the glass temperature well up into the region of the small-viscosity liquid. With respect to the α relaxation this material can be characterized as a typical molecular glass former wi...

Monte Carlo simulations performed on multiple polymer chains have produced accurate relaxation modulus Gs(t) curves which match the experimental G(t) curves of polystyrene reasonably well, over a wide temperature range around the glass transition region. The inter-segmental interactions, defined in terms of ε* (well depth) and σ (monomer size), exert a strong influence on the modulus, the lengt...
