The Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman law in the elastic theory of glass transition
arXiv:0704.2975 · doi:10.1016/j.jnoncrysol.2008.05.021
Abstract
We propose that the origin of the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann law is the increase of the range of elastic interaction between local relaxation events in a liquid. In this picture, we discuss the origin of cooperativity of relaxation, the absence of divergence of relaxation time at a finite temperature and the crossover to a more Arrhenius behaviour at low temperature.
