Dynamic relaxations and relaxation-property relationships in metallic glasses
WH Wang - Progress in Materials Science, 2019 - Elsevier
Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

Growing length scales and their relation to timescales in glass-forming liquids
The question of whether the dramatic slowing down of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids
near the structural glass transition is caused by the growth of one or more correlation lengths …

The relationship of dynamical heterogeneity to the Adam-Gibbs and random first-order transition theories of glass formation
We carefully examine common measures of dynamical heterogeneity for a model polymer
melt and test how these scales compare with those hypothesized by the Adam and Gibbs …

Polymer glass formation: Role of activation free energy, configurational entropy, and collective motion
WS Xu, JF Douglas, ZY Sun - Macromolecules, 2021 - ACS Publications
We provide a perspective on polymer glass formation, with an emphasis on models in which
the fluid entropy and collective particle motion dominate the theoretical description and data …
