Myuller’s concept of the viscous flow: Prospects for its evolution

  • Proceedings of the International Conference “Glasses and Solid Electrolytes” On the Occasion of the 275th Anniversary of the St. Petersburg University and Centenary of Professor Rudolf Ludvigovich Myuller (St. Petersburg, Russia, May 17–19, 1999)

Abstract

The salient points of Myuller’s concept of viscous flow are set forth. The concept is analyzed in terms of the basic principles of quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics. Particular emphasis is placed on the activation entropy of the viscous flow S *η and the glass transition entropy ΔS g . It is demonstrated that, when the tunnel penetration gives way to over-the-barrier passage, the temperature dependences are not described by the Arrhenius equation. The information aspect of the discrete transformations of chemical bonds is described in detail.
