On the Kinetics Description of Below-Tg Structural Relaxation in Network Glass Formers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Phenomenological description of below-Tg structural relaxation known as long-term natural physical ageing in network glass formers exemplified by chalcogenide glasses of binary arsenic selenides was adequately developed within formalism of first-order kinetics. This kinetics was shown to obey a character stretched exponential behavior being treated as sequence of aligning-shrinkage stages throughout glassy matrix.
