Prigogine-Defay ratio: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:21, 23 March 2012

The Prigogine-Defay ratio^[1] is given by (Eq. 1 of ^[2]):

\Pi ={\frac {1}{VT}}\left.{\frac {\Delta C_{p}\Delta k}{(\Delta \alpha )^{2}}}\right|_{T=T_{g}}

where $V$ is the volume, $T$ is the temperature, $T_{g}$ is the temperature of the glass transition, $C_{p}$ is the isobaric heat capacity, $k$ is the compressibility and $\alpha$ is the thermal expansion coefficient.
