Thermodynamic−Kinetic Correlations in Supercooled Liquids: A Critical Survey of Experimental Data and Predictions of the Random First-Order Transition Theory of Glasses

摘要: Thermodynamics and kinetics are thought to be linked in glass transitions. The quantitative predictions of α-relaxation activation barriers provided by the theory glasses based on random first-order transitions compared with experimental results for 44 substances. agreement found between predicted energies near Tg experiment is excellent. These depend configurational heat capacity change vitrification entropy melting crystal which inputs.
