When the cooling rate $v$ is smaller than a certain material-dependent threshold, the glass transition temperature $T_g$ becomes to a certain degree the material parameter being nearly independent on the cooling rate. The common method to determine $T_g$ is to extrapolate viscosity $ u$ of the liquid state at temperatures not far above the freezing conditions to lower temperatures where liquid freezes and viscosity is hardly measurable. It is generally accepted that the glass transition occurs when viscosity drops by $13leq nleq17$ orders of magnitude. The accuracy of $T_g$ depends on the extrapolation quality. We propose here an algorithm for a unique determining of $T_g$. The idea is to unambiguously extrapolate $ u(T)$ to low temperatures without relying upon a specific model. It can be done using the numerical analytical continuation of $ u(T)$-function from above $T_g$ where it is measurable, to $Tgtrsim T_g$. For numerical analytical continuation, we use the Pade approximant method.
Glass transition temperature ($T_{text{g}}$) plays an important role in controlling the mechanical and thermal properties of a polymer. Polyimides are an important category of polymers with wide applications because of their superior heat resistance
Machine learning models have emerged as a very effective strategy to sidestep time-consuming electronic-structure calculations, enabling accurate simulations of greater size, time scale and complexity. Given the interpolative nature of these models,
A glass is a non-equilibrium thermodynamic state whose physical properties depend on time. Glass formation from the melt, as well as the inverse process of liquid structural recovery from the glass are non-equilibrium processes. A positive amount of
The ultraviolet (UV) photodissociation of amorphous water ice at different ice temperatures is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and analytical potentials. Previous MD calculations of UV photodissociation of amorphous and crystal
To take into account nuclear quantum effects on the dynamics of atoms, the path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) method used since 1980s is based on the formalism developed by R. P. Feynman. However, the huge computation time required for the PIMD
