The fundamental results of the Coupling Model, i.e. crossover from independent relaxation at short-times to slowed down cooperative relaxation at a temperature independent time t c , are represented by three equations. They are shown to be in accord with experimental data in molecular glass formers, glass-forming, glassy or crystalline ionic conductors, and concentrated colloidal suspensions. Emphasis is given in this work to the colloidal suspensions which have the advantage of the absence of vibrational contributions and the experimentally measured intermediate scattering function is attributed entirely to diffusion dynamics. Direct evidences of such crossover are demonstrated. These, together with the many successful applications of the predictions to several fields and many materials have led us to believe that the Coupling Model has captured the basic physics of relaxation in materials with many-body interactions. We mention in passing that the theoretical basis of the Coupling Model is closely related to chaos in Hamiltonian dynamical systems.The coupling model (CM) (1-3) is a general approach to dynamics of constrained or interacting systems, that has been shown to be applicable in depth to many problems of relaxation in different materials (4-6). Interaction between relaxing units implies cooperativity between them and vice versa. Thus, the effect of the many-body interactions on relaxation can be rephrased as cooperativity in the context of the CM. Several approaches to this problem have been proposed.
