Structural Relaxation in Relation to Fragility and Mean Coordination

5 Structural Relaxation in Relation to Fragility and Mean Coordination [Pg.34]

In addition to controlling the magnitude of structural relaxation, fragility also affects the kinetics of the relaxation process. This is easily seen by inspection of the Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM) equation [53]  [Pg.36]

The structural rearrangement processes responsible for enthalpy relaxation tend to be very slow at room temperature, where little thermal energy is available to activate molecular reorientations. Equation [2.4] indeed shows that the structural relaxation time increases exponentially with decreasing temperature. Hence these processes are typically hard to observe on a laboratory timescale. However, chalcogenides also possess the unique property of photosensitivity, which offers another means of inducing structural [Pg.37]
