We rationalize the observed relationship using a recently developed approach, in which the problem of the glass transition is discussed as the elasticity problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-07-03T13:39:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "relaxation time", "glass transition", "relationship", "non-exponentiality", "higher linear slope" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0707.0416T" } } }
