We presented that the relaxation of n coupling molecules in a molecular string exhibits n individual relaxation modes (RMs), each mode being characterized by a definite relaxation time and amplitude according to the string model. The n RMs behaving a single relaxation at high temperature, evolves to two relaxation species, at low temperature, with different temperature dependences for the respective relaxation times and amplitudes. Since the characteristics of the two relaxation species are in agreement with those exhibited by the universal alpha- and Johari-Goldstein (JG) beta-relaxations in glass dynamics, we provided a unified molecular level mechanism for these two processes.

We investigate the dielectric response in the glass-electret state of two dipolar glass-forming materials. This unusual polar glassy state of matter is produced when a dipolar liquid is supercooled under the influence of a high electric dc field, whi ch leads to partial orientational order of the molecules carrying a dipole moment. Investigation of the prepared glass-electrets by using low-field dielectric spectroscopy reveals a clear modification of their dielectric response in the regime of the Johari-Goldstein beta-relaxation, pointing to a small but significant increase of its relaxation strength compared to the normal glass. We discuss the implications of this finding for the still controversial microscopic interpretation of the Johari-Goldstein relaxation, an inherent property of glassy matter.
The Brillouin light scattering spectra of the o-terphenyl single crystal are compared with those of the liquid and the glass phases. This shows: i) the direct evidence of a fast relaxation at 5 GHz in both the single crystal and the glass; ii) a simi lar temperature dependence for the attenuation of the longitudinal sound waves in the single crystal and the glass; and iii) the absence of coupling between the fast relaxation and the transverse acoustic waves. These results allow us to assign such a relaxation to the coupling between the longitudinal acoustic waves and intra-molecular vibrations, and therefore to exclude any relationship between it and the glass transition.

The dynamics of a soft sphere model glass, studied by molecular dynamics, is investigated. The vibrational density of states divided by $omega^2$ shows a pronounced boson peak. Its shape is in agreement with the universal form derived for soft oscill ators interacting with sound waves. The excess vibrations forming the boson peak have mainly transverse character. From the dynamic structure factor in the Brillouin regime pseudo dispersion curves are calculated. Whereas the longitudinal phonons are well defined up to the pseudo zone boundary the transverse ones rapidly get over-damped and go through the Ioffe-Regel limit near the boson peak frequency. In the high $q$ regime constant-$omega$ scans of the dynamic structure factor for frequencies around the boson peak are clearly distinct from those for zone boundary frequencies. Above the Brillouin regime, the scans for the low frequency modes follow closely the static structure factor. This still holds after a deconvolution of the exact harmonic eigenmodes into local and extended m odes. Also the structure factor for local relaxations at finite temperatures resembles the static one. This semblance between the structure factors mirrors the collective motion of chain like structures in both low frequency vibrations and atomic hopping processes, observed in the earlier investigations.
A universal supervised neural network (NN) relevant to compute the associated criticalities of real experiments studying phase transitions is constructed. The validity of the built NN is examined by applying it to calculate the criticalities of sever al three-dimensional (3D) models on the cubic lattice, including the classical $O(3)$ model, the 5-state ferromagnetic Potts model, and a dimerized quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. Particularly, although the considered NN is only trained one time on a one-dimensional (1D) lattice with 120 sites, yet it has successfully determined the related critical points of the studied 3D systems. Moreover, real configurations of states are not used in the testing stage. Instead, the employed configurations for the prediction are constructed on a 1D lattice of 120 sites and are based on the bulk quantities or the microscopic states of the considered models. As a result, our calculations are ultimately efficient in computation and the applications of the built NN is extremely broaden. Considering the fact that the investigated systems vary dramatically from each other, it is amazing that the combination of these two strategies in the training and the testing stages lead to a highly universal supervised neural network for learning phases and criticalities of 3D models. Based on the outcomes presented in this study, it is favorably probable that much simpler but yet elegant machine learning techniques can be constructed for fields of many-body systems other than the critical phenomena.
The dielectric anomalies of window-type glasses at low temperatures ($T<$ 1 K) are rather successfully explained by the two-level systems (2LS) tunneling model (TM). However, the magnetic effects discovered in the multisilicate glasses in recent time s cite{ref1}-cite{ref3}, and also some older data from mixed (SiO$_2$)$_{1-x}$(K$_2$O)$_x$ and (SiO$_2$)$_{1-x}$(Na$_2$O)$_x$ glasses cite{ref4}, indicate the need for a suitable generalization of the 2LS TM. We show that, not only for the magnetic effects cite{ref3,ref5} but also for the mixed glasses in the absence of a field, the right extension of the 2LS TM is provided by the (anomalous) multilevel tunneling systems approach proposed by one of us. It appears that new 2LS develop via dilution near the hull of the SiO$_4$-percolating clusters in the mixed glasses.
