Structural relaxation in glasses: Numerical exploration of variables of Narayanaswamy and Moynihan's model

The accurate description of the relaxation phenomenon near the glass transition temperature allows a better interpretation of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves, since it can be separated from other thermal effects such as crystallization, melting, and recrystallization. The structural r...
