We studied aging dynamics in glass formers below their glass transition temperature. A modified Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts law accurately describes this behavior, consistent with higher-temperature equilibrium measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Glass formers exhibit complex dynamics below their glass transition temperature, a phenomenon known as aging.
  • Understanding these aging dynamics is crucial for predicting material properties and long-term stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the time-dependent dielectric loss in various glass formers below the glass temperature.
  • To describe the observed aging dynamics using a theoretical framework and compare it with equilibrium measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Acquisition of time-dependent dielectric loss data for diverse glass formers at temperatures below their glass transition.
  • Application of a modified Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) law to model the aging dynamics, incorporating variations in relaxation time.

Main Results:

  • The modified KWW law successfully describes the aging dynamics, yielding aging relaxation times and stretching exponents.
  • These parameters derived from aging dynamics are consistent with equilibrium measurements conducted at higher temperatures.
  • The study confirms that structural relaxation universally governs aging dynamics, regardless of the specific dynamic process observed within the investigated frequency range.

Conclusions:

  • The aging dynamics of glass formers below the glass temperature can be quantitatively described by a modified Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts law.
  • The consistency between aging and equilibrium measurements highlights the robustness of the proposed model.
  • Structural relaxation is identified as the fundamental process driving aging in these materials.
