The 2/3 Rule of Glass Physics Implies Universalities in Crystal Melting
Peter Lunkenheimer, Konrad Samwer, Alois Loidl
Since more than 100 years, melting is thought to be governed by the Lindemann criterion. It assumes that a crystal melts when, upon heating, the growing atomic vibration amplitudes…
Broadband Dielectric and THz Spectroscopy on Bio-Related Matter: Water, Amino Acids, Proteins, and Blood
Peter Lunkenheimer, Sebastian Emmert, Martin Wolf +1
In the present work, we examine the relevance and proper interpretation of broadband-dielectric and THz-spectroscopy data for the investigation of various types of biological matte…
Relaxation dynamics of poly(ethylene oxide)
Peter Lunkenheimer, Alois Loidl
Poly(ethylene oxide) is an important polymer with many applications, e.g., as solid-state electrolyte in batteries. Its relaxation dynamics, characterizing its molecular and submol…
Prigogine-Defay ratio of glassy freezing scales with liquid fragility
Alois Loidl, Peter Lunkenheimer, Konrad Samwer
A detailed study of published experimental data for a variety of materials on the incremental variation of heat capacity, thermal expansion, and compressibility at glassy freezing…
THz spectroscopy on amino acids
Sebastian Emmert, Peter Lunkenheimer, Alois Loidl
We present a detailed study on the temperature-dependent THz spectra of the polycrystalline amino acids L-serine and L-cysteine for wave numbers from 20 to 120 cm-1 and temperature…
Exploring water's no-man's land
Peter Lunkenheimer, Daniel Reuter, Arthur Schulz +2
The investigation of water's glass transition and a possible liquid-liquid transition within its supercooled state is hampered by its inevitable crystallization in a temperature ra…
