Small Characteristic Length at the Glass Transition Cooperativity Onset
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fluctuation theory approach to a cooperativity onset of the dynamic glass transition is described. Recent dielectric and heat capacity spectroscopy (HCS) experiments for several random copolymers of n-butyl methacrylate with styrene indicate a steep linear increase of relaxation intensities (lie, chop) and of square root of cooperativity (Nj/~)

Enhanced cooperativity below the caging temperature of glass-forming liquids
– The utility of a cooperative length scale for describing the dynamics of small molecule glass-formers is shown. Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations reveal a distribution of cooperatively moving fractal events below the temperature TA at which dynamics become caged. Guided by these results, four straightforward methods emerge to recognize TA in experimental data and quantify the len...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of a cluster-glass transition on the colossal magnetoresistance manganite
Neutron small angle scattering on a colossal magnetoresistance material shows clear signatures of a rise in characteristic length of paramagnetic fluctuations as the maximum of dc susceptibility is approached from high temperatures. The phenomenon is accompanied by a rise in intensity of a broad peak that appears at wave vectors of Q<0.025 Å−1, and this is interpreted as a fingerprint of the on...

In the present research work, (60-x)V2O5-xNiO-40TeO2 amorphous bulk compositions with different molar percentages of 0≤x≤20 mol%, were prepared by well-known rapid melt-quenching method. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates (φ) was used to thermal analyze and to obtain more insight in to the thermal stability, glass forming tendency and so calorimetric characteris...
متن کاملFickian crossover and length scales from two point functions in supercooled liquids.
Particle motion of a Lennard-Jones supercooled liquid near the glass transition is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We analyze the wave vector dependence of relaxation times in the incoherent self-scattering function and show that at least three different regimes can be identified and its scaling properties determined. The transition from one regime to another happens at characteristi...
متن کاملCharacteristic Points of Stress-Strain Curve at High Temperature
Determination of critical points on hot stress-strain curve of metals is crucial in thermo-mechanical processes design. In this investigation a mathematical modeling is given to illustrate the behavior of metal during hot deformation processes such as hot rolling. The critical strain for the onset of dynamic recrystallization has been obtained as a function of strain at the maximum stress. In a...
