The Scaling of Relaxation Processes

  • Summarizes methods to analyze dielectric properties over the whole spectral range from µHz up to the Infrared
  • Describes how to trace the scaling and the mutual interactions of relaxation processes
  • Dynamic glass transition and secondary relaxations, but as well far infrared vibrations, like the Boson peak
  • Discusses various competing theoretical concepts

Part of the book series: Advances in Dielectrics (ADVDIELECT)

About this book

The dielectric properties especially of glassy materials are nowadays explored at widely varying temperatures and pressures without any gap in the spectral range from µHz up to the Infrared, thus covering typically 20 decades or more. This extraordinary span enables to trace the scaling and the mutual interactions of relaxation processes in detail, e.g. the dynamic glass transition and secondary relaxations, but as well far infrared vibrations, like the Boson peak. Additionally the evolution of intra-molecular interactions in the course of the dynamic glass transition is also well explored by (Fourier Transform) Infrared Spectroscopy. This volume within 'Advances in Dielectrics' summarizes this knowledge and discusses it with respect to the existing and often competing theoretical concepts.
