The Relationship between Free Volume and Cooperative Rearrangement: From the Temperature-Dependent Neutron Total Scattering Experiment of Polystyrene

Although many theories have been proposed to describe the nature of glass formation, its microscopic picture is still missing. Here, by a combination of neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulation, we present the temperature-dependent atomic structure variation of polystyrene at the glass f...
