  • Title: Nonlinear Dielectric Behavior of a Secondary Relaxation: Glassy D-Sorbitol.
    Author: Samanta S, Richert R.
    Journal: J Phys Chem B; 2015 Jul 23; 119(29):8909-16. PubMed ID: 25105940.
    Abstract:
    We have studied the nonlinear dielectric behavior of a glass-forming liquid, D-sorbitol, with particular attention to its exceptionally intense Johari-Goldstein (JG) type secondary relaxation. It is found that this β-relaxation displays significant nonlinear dielectric effects, but these differ qualitatively from their α-process counterparts. High fields increase the amplitudes of the secondary modes (rather than reducing their time constants), consistent with a field induced increase of fictive temperatures. This result implies that the amplitudes of the secondary modes fluctuate in the glassy state, consistent with MD simulations reported for a liquid displaying a JG relaxation. The nonlinear features of this secondary process are reminiscent of those found for the excess wing regime, suggesting that these two contributions to dynamics have common origins.
