Gaussian excitations model for glass-former dynamics and thermodynamics

Gaussian excitations model for glass-former dynamics and thermodynamics

We describe a model for the thermodynamics and dynamics of glass-forming liquids in terms of excitations from an ideal glass state to a Gaussian manifold of configurationally excited states. The quantitative fit of this three parameter model to the experimental data on excess entropy and heat capacity shows that "fragile" …
