[HTML][HTML] Universal properties of relaxation and diffusion in complex materials: Originating from fundamental physics with rich applications

KL Ngai - Progress in Materials Science, 2023 - Elsevier
Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

Supercooled dynamics of glass-forming liquids and polymers under hydrostatic pressure

CM Roland, S Hensel-Bielowka… - Reports on Progress …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
An intriguing problem in condensed matter physics is understanding the glass transition, in

New insights into the fragility dilemma in liquids

D Huang, GB McKenna - The Journal of chemical physics, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
A compilation of data for small molecule organic, polymeric, and inorganic glass-forming
liquids shows that the original expectation, that there be a positive correlation between the …

Do theories of the glass transition, in which the structural relaxation time does not define the dispersion of the structural relaxation, need revision?

KL Ngai, R Casalini, S Capaccioli… - The Journal of …, 2005 - ACS Publications
Upon decreasing temperature or increasing pressure, a noncrystallizing liquid will vitrify; that
is, the structural relaxation time, τ α, becomes so long that the system cannot attain an …

Supercooled liquids and glasses by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy

R Richert - Advances in Chemical Physics, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The formation of a glassy disordered solid is usually observed upon cooling a melt when
crystallization can be avoided or when a system is incapable of crystallizing, as is the case …

Temperature and volume effects on local segmental relaxation in poly (vinyl acetate)

CM Roland, R Casalini - Macromolecules, 2003 - ACS Publications
Dielectric data on the local segmental relaxation of amorphous poly (vinyl acetate)(PVAc)

Dynamic fragility in polymers: A comparison in isobaric and isochoric conditions

D Huang, DM Colucci, GB McKenna - The Journal of chemical physics, 2002 - pubs.aip.org
The dynamic fragilities of six polymeric materials have been compared for isobaric (constant
pressure) and isochoric (constant volume) conditions. Data were taken from the published …

Pressure dependence of structural relaxation time in terms of the Adam-Gibbs model

R Casalini, S Capaccioli, M Lucchesi, PA Rolla… - Physical Review E, 2001 - APS
A new equation describing the behavior of the structural relaxation time, τ (T, P), as a
