"We report evidence from broadband dielectric spectroscopy that the dynamics of the primary alpha- and secondary Johari-Goldstein (JG) beta-processes are strongly correlated in different glass-forming systems over a wide temperature T and pressure P range, in contrast with the widespread opinion of statistical independence of these processes. The alpha-beta mutual dependence is quantitatively confirmed by (a) the overall superposition of spectra measured at different T-P combinations but with an invariant alpha-relaxation time; (b) the contemporary scaling of the isothermal-pressure and isobaric-temperature dependences of the alpha-and beta-relaxation times as plotted versus the reduced variable T-g(P)/T where T-g is the glass transition temperature. These novel and model-independent evidences indicate the relevance of the JG relaxation phenomenon in glass transition, often overlooked by most current theories."

Abstract

"We report evidence from broadband dielectric spectroscopy that the dynamics of the primary alpha- and secondary Johari-Goldstein (JG) beta-processes are strongly correlated in different glass-forming systems over a wide temperature T and pressure P range, in contrast with the widespread opinion of statistical independence of these processes. The alpha-beta mutual dependence is quantitatively confirmed by (a) the overall superposition of spectra measured at different T-P combinations but with an invariant alpha-relaxation time; (b) the contemporary scaling of the isothermal-pressure and isobaric-temperature dependences of the alpha-and beta-relaxation times as plotted versus the reduced variable T-g(P)/T where T-g is the glass transition temperature. These novel and model-independent evidences indicate the relevance of the JG relaxation phenomenon in glass transition, often overlooked by most current theories."
