The diagram in figure 2 contains at least one phase such that its existence has been noted only recently (Brostow, W. Dziemianowicz, T.S., Hess, M., Saboe, Jr., S.H. Liquid Crystals, submitted), namely the quasi-liquid (q-1). This is the material which was in the amorphous state below its glass transition Tg, but now is in the temperature range between Tg and the melting transition. Thus, q-1 can undergo crystallization - the so-called "cold crystallization" - in distinction to an ordinary liquid which cannot.
