Structural Relaxation and Frequency Dependent Specific Heat in a Supercooled Liquid
We have studied the relation between the structural relaxation and the
frequency dependent thermal response or the specific heat, , in a
supercooled liquid.
The Mode Coupling Theory (MCT) results are used to obtain
corresponding to different wavevectors. Due to the two-step
relaxation process present in the MCT, an extra peak, in addition to the low
frequency peak, is predicted in specific heat at high frequency.Comment: 14 pages, 13 Figure
