Strong pretransitional anomaly near glass transition

Abstract

In this report we present the first ever results of strong pretransitional effect observed for the maximum of absorption peak εmax''(T) in supercooled liquid-crystalline systems near the glass transition temperature. This anomaly may be described by critical-like relation with critical exponent α=0.5, which corresponds well with previous results for static electric permittivity εs(T). Such a behaviour may suggest thermodynamic character of glass transition.
