Rigid molecular glass-formers with no internal degrees of freedom nonetheless have a single secondary β-relaxation.

By applying pressure to the dielectric spectra of 1MID, we find the single secondary relaxation splits into two. The slower one is pressure sensitive showing connections to the α-relaxation as observed in other rigid molecules, while the faster one is almost pressure insensitive and dominate the loss at ambient pressure. The two secondary relaxations, identified to associate with the out-of-plane and in-plane rotations of the rigid and planar 1MID, are resolved and observed for the first time by increasing density via elevating pressure.

Abstract
Rigid molecular glass-formers with no internal degrees of freedom nonetheless have a single secondary β-relaxation. For a rigid and planar molecule, 1-methylindole (1MID), although a secondary relaxation is resolved at ambient pressure, its properties do not conform to the rules established for rigid molecules reported in early studies. By applying pressure to the dielectric spectra of 1MID, we find the single secondary relaxation splits into two. The slower one is pressure sensitive showing connections to the α-relaxation as observed in other rigid molecules, while the faster one is almost pressure insensitive and dominate the loss at ambient pressure. The two secondary relaxations, identified to associate with the out-of-plane and in-plane rotations of the rigid and planar 1MID, are resolved and observed for the first time by increasing density via elevating pressure.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
