Why liquids are fragile.
The fragilities (T(g)-normalized temperature dependence of alpha-relaxation times) of 33 glass-forming liquids and polymers are compared for isobaric, mP, and isochoric, mV, conditions. We find that the two quantities are linearly correlated: mP = (37+/-3) + (0.84+/-0.05)mV. This result has obvious and important consequences, since the ratio mV/mP is a measure of the relative degree to which te...
متن کاملExplaining why simple liquids are quasi-universal.
It has been known for a long time that many simple liquids have surprisingly similar structure as quantified, for example, by the radial distribution function. A much more recent realization is that the dynamics are also very similar for a number of systems with quite different pair potentials. Systems with such non-trivial similarities are generally referred to as 'quasi-universal'. From the f...
متن کاملWhy many polymers are so fragile: A new perspective.
Many polymers exhibit much steeper temperature dependence of their structural relaxation time (higher fragility) than liquids of small molecules, and the mechanism of this unusually high fragility in polymers remains a puzzle. To reveal additional hints for understanding the underlying mechanism, we analyzed correlation of many properties of polymers to their fragility on example of model polym...
متن کاملHybrid glasses from strong and fragile metal-organic framework liquids
Hybrid glasses connect the emerging field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the glass formation, amorphization and melting processes of these chemically versatile systems. Though inorganic zeolites collapse around the glass transition and melt at higher temperatures, the relationship between amorphization and melting has so far not been investigated. Here we show how heating MOFs of zeoli...
متن کاملFragile vs strong liquids: a saddles ruled scenario
– In the context of the energy landscape description of supercooled liquids, we propose an explanation for the different behaviour of fragile and strong liquids. Above Goldstein’s temperature Tx, diffusion is interpreted as a motion in the phase space among saddles of the potential energy. Two mechanisms of diffusion then arise: mechanism A takes place when the system overcomes potential energy...
