ABSTRACTThe dynamics of Na0.5Li0.5PO3 (Tg = 515 K, Tm = 749 K) a non fragile glass forming liquid has been investigated over a large temperature range (300 − 1000 K.) and in a wide energy window using various experimental techniques. The susceptibility spectra obtained by coherent neutron scattering and depolarized light scattering between 1 and 104 GHz show mainly two contributions: a low frequency vibrational peak, the so-called Boson peak and a quasielastic component, referred to the βfast process in the mode coupling theory (MCT).The data are discussed in relation to the mode coupling theory for the liquid glass transition. In particular, the temperature evolution of the susceptibility height in the βfast region is compatible with a crossover temperature Tc ∼ 620 K which is also deduced from a power law temperature dependence of the structural relaxation timescale. As a secondary βslow process, observed by 31P NMR, decouples from the structural relaxation timescale also below 600 K, a real change in the dynamics seems to occur around Tc ∼ 620 K = 1.2 Tg in this non fragile glass Conning liquid.

Consistent model including structural relaxation is necessary for correct glass stress calculation in numerical computations of glass forming processes. Calculation of glass relaxation phenomena is often done by combining independent empirical formula on stress relaxation (for a simple temperature regime) and independent model of time-temperature dependence on Tool fictive temperature, Tf. Another approach was developed and verified here. Tool-Narayanaswamy and Moynihan/Mazurin relaxation model was adopted. Relaxation was obtained not from empirical model, but from calculated time-temperature dependence of Tool fictive temperature (Tf), dynamic viscosity, heat capacity and coefficient of thermal expansion. Heat conduction in a glass probe of known temperature history, structural relaxation and stress calculation were used in one computation scheme using Matlab. The stress of glass probe was measured using polarized light (Senarmont method). Rather high stress computation accuracy was obtained in comparison to stress experimental results. The applied model approach is being to be extended for application in commercial finite element codes for modeling of glass forming processes.

A full spectrum of strong to fragile glass-forming behaviors can be achieved in a single microgel system of increased particle elasticity. The glass fragility and structural relaxation processes of glass-forming dense colloidal liquids show strong dependence on particle elasticity.

The high-temperature viscosity of metallic glass-forming liquids is investigated by using the Bond Strength-Coordination Number Fluctuation (BSCNF) model developed by the authors. For many glass-forming liquids, a salient change in the structural relaxation is observed above the melting point. The temperature dependence of the structural relaxation exhibits a deviation from an Arrhenius-like behavior, and upon cooling it transforms to a non-Arrhenius-like one. In the present study, we show that the BSCNF model describes well the high-temperature viscosity behaviors of metallic liquids. The analysis based on the BSCNF model also enables to extract a characteristic temperature at high temperature. The results of the present study show that such characteristic temperature can be a good indicator for the evaluation of the range of the transition from the Arrhenius-like to the non-Arrhenius-like relaxation behavior.

A direct correlation between the stretched exponent, β(T), of relaxation functions and configurational entropy of the Adam–Gibbs's theory on cooperatively rearranging region (CRR) in glass-forming liquids is investigated. One important result is that β(T) is equal to the relative configurational entropy per molecule. Another significant prediction is that β(T) is inversely proportional to the critical molecule number z*, of a CRR in the transformation. Further, a factor f(T) is proposed to express the temperature dependence of viscosity and configurational entropy. A modified Vogel-Fulcher–Tammann (VFT) equation is obtained by adding a small non-linear term to f(T). The above theoretic investigations coincide precisely with the calorimetric experimental results of 3-bromopentane.
