Thermodynamic scaling of vibrational dynamics and relaxation
arXiv:1701.02211 · doi:10.1063/1.4971297
Abstract
We investigate by thorough Molecular Dynamics simulations the thermodynamic scaling (TS) of a polymer melt. Two distinct models, with strong and weak virial-energy correlations, are considered. Both evidence the joint TS with the same characteristic exponent of the fast mobility - the mean square amplitude of the picosecond rattling motion inside the cage -, and the much slower structural relaxation and chain reorientation. If the cage effect is appreciable, the TS master curves of the fast mobility are nearly linear, grouping in a bundle of approximately concurrent lines for different fragilities. An expression of the TS master curve of the structural relaxation with one adjustable parameter less than the available three-parameters alternatives is derived. The novel expression fits well with the experimental TS master curves of thirty-four glassformers and, in particular, their slope at the glass transition, i.e. the isochoric fragility. For the glassformer OTP the isochoric fragility allows to satisfactorily predict the TS master curve of the fast mobility with no adjustments.
