Universal and non-universal features of glassy relaxation in propylene carbonate

Abstract

It is demonstrated that the susceptibility spectra of supercooled propylene carbonate as measured by depolarized-light-scattering, dielectric-loss, and incoherent quasi-elastic neutron-scattering spectroscopy within the GHz window are simultaneously described by the solutions of a two-component schematic model of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) for the evolution of glassy dynamics. It is shown that the universal beta-relaxation-scaling laws, dealing with the asymptotic behavior of the MCT solutions, describe the qualitative features of the calculated spectra. But the non-universal corrections to the scaling laws render it impossible to achieve a complete quantitative description using only the leading-order-asymptotic results.
