Abstract

This contribution presents the extended, pressure-related Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann equation applied to portray the pressure evolution of viscosity η (P) and the related dynamic properties, such as the primary relaxation time τ (P), in soft-matter systems as well as the modified Simon–Glatzel-type equation for describing pressure dependences of the glass temperature T g (P), the melting temperature T m (P) and the fragile-to-strong dynamical transition in confined water T d (P). Both equations are capable of penetrating the negative pressure (isotropically stretched liquid) domain, and at very high pressures are capable of the inverse behavior. They have the following forms: (i) η (P)=η0 exp [D P Δ P/(P 0P)]=η0 exp [(D P PD P P SL)/(P 0P)], where P 0 is the estimate of the ideal glass temperature, P SL is for the stability limit at negative pressures and D P denotes the pressure fragility strength coefficient and (ii) , where and are the reference temperature and pressure,−π is the negative pressure asymptote and c is the damping coefficient responsible for the inversion phenomenon.
