Whereas the first part of this paper dealt with the relaxation in the beta-regime, this part investigates the final (alpha) relaxation of a simulated polymer melt consisting of short non-entangled chains above the critical temperature Tc of mode-coupling theory (MCT). We monitor the intermediate incoherent as well as the coherent chain and coherent melt scattering functions over a wide range of wave numbers q. Upon approaching Tc the coherent alpha-relaxation time of the melt increases strongly close to the maximum of the static structure factor of the melt. At q corresponding to the radius of gyration of the chain the melt relaxation time exhibits another maximum. The temperature dependence of the relaxation times is well described by a power-law with a q-dependent exponent in an intermediate temperature range. The time-temperature superposition principle of MCT is clearly bourne out in the whole range of wave numbers. An analysis of the alpha-decay using Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) functions reveals that the collective melt KWW-stretching exponent and KWW-relaxation times are modulated with the structure factor. Furthermore, both incoherent and coherent KWW-times approach the large-q prediction of MCT at q comparable to the maximum of the structure factor. At small q a power law with exponent -3 is found for the coherent chain KWW-times similar to that of recent experiments.
We report results of molecular-dynamics simulations of a model polymer melt consisting of short non-entangled chains in the supercooled state above the critical temperature of mode-coupling theory (MCT). To analyse the dynamics of the system we compu
Significant progress was made in recent years in the understanding of the proton spin kinetics in polymer melts. Generally, the proton spin kinetics is determined by intramolecular and intermolecular magnetic dipole-dipole contributions of proton spi
We present an extensive set of simulation results for the stress relaxation in equilibrium and step-strained bead-spring polymer melts. The data allow us to explore the chain dynamics and the shear relaxation modulus, $G(t)$, into the plateau regime
We generalize the force-level, microscopic, Nonlinear Langevin Equation (NLE) theory and its elastically collective generalization (ECNLE theory) of activated dynamics in bulk spherical particle liquids to address the influence of random particle pin
We have performed a thorough examination of the reorientational relaxation dynamics and the ionic charge transport of three typical deep eutectic solvents, ethaline, glyceline and reline by broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Our experiments cover a b
