Connection between fragility, mean-squared displacement and shear modulus in two van der Waals bonded glass-forming liquids

Abstract

The temperature dependence of the high-frequency shear modulus measured in the kHz range is compared to the mean-squared displacement measured in the nanosecond range for the two van der Waals bonded glass-forming liquids cumene and 5PPE. This provides an experimental test for the assumption connecting two versions of the shoving model for the non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the relaxation time in glass formers. The two versions of the model are also tested directly and both are shown to work well for these liquids.
