Source of non-Arrhenius average relaxation time in glass-forming liquids

Abstract: A major mystery of glass-forming liquids is the non-Arrhenius temperature-dependence of the average relaxation time. This paper briefly reviews the classical phenomenological models for this phenomenon -the freevolume model and the entropy model -and critiques against these models. We then discuss a recent model Christensen, Phys. Rev. B 53, 2171 (1996)] according to which the activation energy for the average relaxation time is determined by the work done in shoving aside the surrounding liquid to create s… Show more

“…Actually, according to Dyre's shoving model, spherical symmetry in real flow events is probably violated, leading to some compression of surroundings and a contribution to activation energy that is proportional to bulk modulus. 45 The equivalent PEL of the shoving model also confirmed this point; thereby, activation energy must involve both shear and bulk moduli. 46 However, which of them controls the activation energy?…”

“…The second aspect worth discussing is an analysis of f m in terms of a temperature-variant Arrhenius energy, which has been recently expressed by Dyre et al, 56 and Dyre 57 and in terms of what was called the ''shoving model.'' 57 They considered that molecular interactions are anharmonic near T g , with strong short-range repulsion and weak long-range attraction, and that a certain amount of energy is spent in the shoving of the surrounding molecules in a local region be-fore diffusion can occur at all.…”

“…The shoving model assumes that the activation barrier for viscous flow has two contributions: (i) rearrangements of molecules or structural units, when a thermal fluctuation leads to extra space being created locally; (ii) "shoving" aside the surrounding liquid to reduce the first contribution. According to the shoving model, the main contribution comes from (ii), i.e., the activation energy is mainly elastic energy [5]. On a short time scale, the liquid behaves as a solid with elastic moduli equal to the instantaneous elastic moduli.…”

“…On a short time scale, the liquid behaves as a solid with elastic moduli equal to the instantaneous elastic moduli. Furthermore, it is assumed that all flow events possess spherical symmetry, i.e., the surroundings are subject to a pure shear displacement and not associated with any density change [5,51,56]. Since this displacement happens on a short time scale, the shoving work is proportional to the instantaneous shear modulus, which leads to the following expression for the relaxation time [51]:…”
