ABSTRACTThe dynamics of Na0.5Li0.5PO3 (Tg = 515 K, Tm = 749 K) a non fragile glass forming liquid has been investigated over a large temperature range (300 − 1000 K.) and in a wide energy window using various experimental techniques. The susceptibility spectra obtained by coherent neutron scattering and depolarized light scattering between 1 and 104 GHz show mainly two contributions: a low frequency vibrational peak, the so-called Boson peak and a quasielastic component, referred to the βfast process in the mode coupling theory (MCT).The data are discussed in relation to the mode coupling theory for the liquid glass transition. In particular, the temperature evolution of the susceptibility height in the βfast region is compatible with a crossover temperature Tc ∼ 620 K which is also deduced from a power law temperature dependence of the structural relaxation timescale. As a secondary βslow process, observed by 31P NMR, decouples from the structural relaxation timescale also below 600 K, a real change in the dynamics seems to occur around Tc ∼ 620 K = 1.2 Tg in this non fragile glass Conning liquid.

Abstract In this work results of studies on the short-range order and on the atomic dynamics in different stable and undercooled glass-forming metallic melts are reviewed. In order to undercool the melts deeply below the melting temperature and to avoid chemical reactions of the melts with crucible materials, the samples are containerlessly processed utilizing the electromagnetic or the electrostatic levitation technique. The short-range structure of the melts is studied by neutron diffraction, while the atomic dynamics are investigated by quasielastic neutron scattering. The relationship between short-range structure and atomic dynamics is discussed within the mode coupling theory of the glass transition. We will show that taking the time- and space-averaged structural information provided by measured partial structure factors as an input, mode coupling theory is able to explain the experimental results concerning the activation energies for self-diffusion and the coupling/decoupling behavior of the self-diffusion coefficients of the different alloy components.

ABSTRACTQuasi-elastic neutron scattering (NS) measurements of Salol have been carried out in order to study the α and β relaxations near the liquid-glass transition. The results are presented in the form of a susceptibility spectrum that is compared with the corresponding spectrum obtained from light scattering (LS) and with the predictions from the Mode Coupling Theory. The differences between the NS and LS results are due to the different correlators contributing to the susceptibility in the two types of scattering. The possible origin of these differences are discussed in the framework of the Mode Coupling Theory.
