Studies of Glasses and the Glass Transition

他们提出了一系列的实验和计算机模拟 这将有助于澄清玻璃化转变的性质， 有助于阐明玻璃态本身的性质。 他们 将使用他们最近开发的比热谱仪， 研究的形状和温度的依赖性， 玻璃上方出现的弛豫时间分布 过渡。 数据将根据 比热异常发生的Kauzmann判据。 他们的计算机模拟和非线性磁化率研究 旨在找到一个与玻璃质 放松. 他们还计划研究次级弛豫 在低于Tg的玻璃中发生， 同一个玻璃杯的热度，看看它们是否与一个 另一个是由目前的玻璃态理论。 他们将 还测量了硒化砷（II）的X射线衍射， 结合中子衍射测量， 确定该玻璃的部分结构因子。

They propose a series of experiments and computer simulations which will help to clarify the nature of the glass transition and help to elucidate the properties of the glass state itself. They will use their recently developed specific heat spectrometer to investigate the shape and temperature dependence of the distribution of relaxation times that appear above glass transitions. The data will be interpreted in light of the Kauzmann criterion for where the specific heat anomaly can occur. Their computer simulations and nonlinear susceptibility studies are aimed at finding a length scale associated with the glassy relaxation. They also plan to study the secondary relaxations that occur in glasses below Tg and the low temperature specific heat of the same glasses to see if they can be related to one another by some current theories of the glassy state. They will also measure the x-ray diffraction of Arsenic (II) Selenide to be used in conjunction with neutron diffraction measurements to determine the partial structure factors of this glass.
