Simulation of the magnetic relaxation in a model of hard superconductor reveals a new time scale below the irreversibility temperature. The relaxation in this new time scale, which appears in an intermediate time window, is a power law and is related to self organization of the magnetic flux around the critical current density Jc during the relaxation. Emergence of a new time scale which along ...

Generalized thermoelastic models have been developed with the aim of eliminating the contradiction in the infinite velocity of heat propagation inherent in the classical dynamical coupled thermoelasticity theory. In these generalized models, the basic equations include thermal relaxation times and they are of hyperbolic type. Furthermore, Tzou established the dual-phase-lag heat conduction theo...

Field gradient NMR techniques have proved very useful for measurements of molecular self-diffusion coefficients in many materials ranging from simple liquids to more complex materials such as polymer melts, porous media and biological tissues. In such multicomponent systems, spin relaxation phenomena may not only lead to a reduction of the signal intensity available for the field gradient NMR e...

In this work, thermally stimulated currents (TSC) analyses combined with dynamic dielectric spectroscopy (DDS) have been applied to the investigation of molecular mobility of cellulose. The correlation between results obtained by both methods allows us to attribute the low temperature DDS relaxation mode to the c-mode resolved in TSC. The values of its activation parameters point out that the c...

We have carried out atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of a melt of 1,4-poly~butadiene! from temperatures well above the experimentally observed merging of the primary a process and secondary b process down to temperatures approaching the experimentally observed bifurcation temperature. The relaxation strength and maximum loss frequency and its temperature dependence for the combined a-b ...

Tensile stress–strain and stress relaxation properties of 1100 equivalent weight Nafion have been measured from 23 to 120 C at 0–100% relative humidity. At room temperature, the elastic modulus of Nafion decreases with water activity. At 90 C, the elastic modulus goes through a maximum at a water activity of 0.3. At temperatures 90 C, hydrated membranes are stiffer than dry membranes. Stressrel...

In this work, the dynamics of the primary and the Johari-Goldstein (JG) processes are studied with dielectric spectroscopy. We found the relaxations at glass transition temperature in polyphenylglycidylether and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A to be strongly correlated over a wide temperature T and pressure P range. Analysing the temperature and pressure behaviour of the and (JG) -processes...
