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 …

New scaling paradigm for dynamics in glass-forming systems

A Drozd-Rzoska, SJ Rzoska, S Starzonek - Progress in Materials Science, 2023 - Elsevier
The lack of ultimate scaling relations for previtreous changes of the primary relaxation time
or viscosity in glass-forming systems constitutes the grand fundamental challenge, also …

Classification of secondary relaxation in glass-formers based on dynamic properties

Relation between the activation energy of the Johari-Goldstein β relaxation and of glass formers

KL Ngai, S Capaccioli - Physical Review E, 2004 - APS
For glass-forming substances, we show that the ratio E β/RT g can be predicted
quantitatively from the coupling model. Here E β is the glassy state activation enthalpy of the …
