Classification of secondary relaxation in glass-formers based on dynamic properties

Dynamic properties, derived from dielectric relaxation spectra of glass-formers at variable temperature and pressure, are used to characterize and classify any resolved or unresolved secondary relaxation based on their different behaviors. The dynamic properties of the secondary relaxation used include: (1) the pressure and temperature dependences; (2) the separation between its relaxation time taubeta and the primary relaxation time taualpha at any chosen taualpha; (3) whether taubeta is approximately equal to the independent (primitive) relaxation time tau0 of the coupling model; (4) whether both taubeta and tau0 have the same pressure and temperature dependences; (5) whether it is responsible for the…
