Hierarchy of Relaxation Times and Residual Entropy: A Nonequilibrium Approach

Hierarchy of Relaxation Times and Residual Entropy: A Nonequilibrium Approach

We consider nonequilibrium (NEQ) states such as supercooled liquids and glasses that are described with the use of internal variables. We classify the latter by the state-dependent hierarchy of relaxation times to assess their relevance for irreversible contributions. Given an observation time τ...
