We study the slow dynamics of salol by varying both temperature and pressure using photon correlation spectroscopy and pressure-volume-temperature measurements, and compare the behavior of the structural relaxation time with equations derived within the Adam-Gibbs entropy theory and the Cohen-Grest free volume theory. We find that pressure-dependent data are crucial to assess the validity of these model equations. Our analysis supports the entropy-based equation, and estimates the configurational entropy of salol at ambient pressure ,70% of the excess entropy. Finally, we investigate the evolution of the shape of the structural relaxation process, and find that a time-temperature-pressure superposition principle holds over the range investigated.

Abstract
We study the slow dynamics of salol by varying both temperature and pressure using photon correlation spectroscopy and pressure-volume-temperature measurements, and compare the behavior of the structural relaxation time with equations derived within the Adam-Gibbs entropy theory and the Cohen-Grest free volume theory. We find that pressure-dependent data are crucial to assess the validity of these model equations. Our analysis supports the entropy-based equation, and estimates the configurational entropy of salol at ambient pressure ,70% of the excess entropy. Finally, we investigate the evolution of the shape of the structural relaxation process, and find that a time-temperature-pressure superposition principle holds over the range investigated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
