The Role of Stochastic Noise on the Glass Transition
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTGlasses are amorphous solids that exhibit an intricate structural relaxation. A broad relaxation time spectrum always emerges when these systems are perturbed. By using a Langevin-type differential equation to describe the structure dynamicsof these materials, it is depicted how the broad relaxation time spectrum arises due to the stochastic noise and how this affects the system's structure evolution as it is cooled down into the glass transition region. This stochastic model provides a macroscopic as well a microscopic view of the glass relaxation process.
