Based on the equation for the dependence of the glass transition temperature vs. the cooling rate, the analogous dependence has been determined for the fraction of fluctuation volume, which is frozen at the glass transition temperature. It has been shown that the constant ratio of empirical constants of the given equation is the consequence of the criterion of vitrification in the model of delocalized atoms. The nature of the free volume of amorphous substances has been discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
