“…The elastic constants are frequency dependent, and BLS specifically yields their limiting high frequency values, which relate to local packing and interactions, as well as, the glass transition temperature. [49] The detection of more than two particle elastic excitations in the experimental (BLS) spectra of Fig. 4.18 allows for an unambiguous determination of the elastic moduli, shear modulus G = ̺c 2 t and Young modulus E = ̺c 2 l (1 + σ)(1 − 2σ)/(1 − σ), with σ = (c 2 l − 2c 2 t )/[2(c 2 l − c 2 t )] being the Poisson ratio and ̺ being the mass density.…”
