Theoretical perspective on the glass transition and amorphous materials (2010, background): “…normalized by its value at the melting temperature, is plotted as a function of T , a remarkable connection with the dynamics, in particular the VFT law, emerges (see (Martinez and Angell, 2001) for a compilation of experimental data and (Debenedetti and Stillinger, 2001) for a discussion).”
Viscosity of glass-forming liquids (2009, background): “The relaxation time at an infinitely high temperature is given by the quasilattice vibration period ( 10 14 s), corresponding to the time between successive assaults on the energy barriers to structural rearrangement (29, 30).”
Glass-like dynamics of collective cell migration (2011, background): “Although the underlying details of the AM and VFT models differ, and the VFT predicts a divergence in D−1 0 which we cannot observe (20), both models reveal the same relaxation behavior in the cell system: collective migration within a confluent cell monolayer exhibits behavior that is remarkably re”
