dc.descriptionThe glass transition is described in terms of thermally activated local structural rearrangements, the secondary relaxations of the glass phase. The interaction between these secondary relaxations leads to a much faster and much more dramatic breakdown of the shear modulus than without interaction, thus creating the impression of a separate primary process which in reality does not exist. The model gives a new view on the fragility and the stretching, two puzzling features of the glass transition.
dc.description4 pages, 5 figures, 13 references; version 2 changed in title, reduced claims and modified arguments according to referee criticque from PRL. One equation was omitted; otherwise equations are unchanged Paper rejected by PRL; Version 3 accepted as part of the proceedings Workshop Disordered Solids in Andalo 2003 to appear in Phil. Mag. B
