Abstract
Glassy materials display numerous important properties which relate to the presence and intensity of the secondary (β) relaxations that dominate the dynamics below the glass transition temperature. However, experimental protocols such as annealing allow little control over the β relaxation for most glasses. Here we report on the β relaxation of toluene in highly stable glasses prepared by physical vapor deposition. At conditions that generate the highest kinetic stability, about 70% of the β relaxation intensity is suppressed, indicating the proximity of this state to the long-sought "ideal glass." While preparing such a state via deposition takes less than an hour, it would require ~3500 years of annealing an ordinary glass to obtain similarly suppressed dynamics.

Abstract
The effect of the cross-link density on the molecular dynamics of copolymers composed of vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and butyl acrylate (BA) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS). A single glass transition was detected by DSC measurements. The dielectric spectra exhibit conductive processes and three dipolar relaxations labeled as α, β and γ in the decreasing order of temperatures. The cross-linker content affects both α and β processes, but the fastest γ process is relatively unaffected. An increase of cross-linking produces a typical effect on the α process dynamics: (i) the glass transition temperature is increased, (ii) the dispersion is broadened, (iii) its strength is decreased and (iv) the relaxation times are increased. However, the β process, which possesses typical features of a pure Johari-Goldstein relaxation, unexpectedly loses the intermolecular character for the highest cross-linker content.

Abstract
In the first two papers separately on the polyalcohols and amorphous polymers of this series, we demonstrated that the fast dynamics observed in the glassy state at high frequencies above circa 1 GHz is the caged dynamics. We showed generally the intensity of the fast caged dynamics changes temperature dependence at a temperature THF nearly coincident with the secondary glass transition temperature Tgβ lower than the nominal glass transition temperature Tgα. The phenomenon is remarkable, since THF is determined from measurements of fast caged dynamics at short time scales typically in the ns to ps range, while Tgβ characterizes the secondary glass transition at which the Johari-Goldstein (JG) β-relaxation time τJG reaches a long time of ∼10(3) s, determined directly either by positronium annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, calorimetry, or low frequency dielectric and mechanical relaxation spectroscopy. The existence of the secondary glass transition originates from the dependence of τJG on density, previously proven by experiments performed at elevated pressure. The fact that THF ≈ Tgβ reflects the density dependence of the caged dynamics and coupling to the JG β-relaxation. The generality of the phenomenon and its theoretical rationalization implies the same should be observable in other classes of glass-formers. In this paper, III, we consider two archetypal small molecular van der Waals glass-formers, ortho-terphenyl and toluene. The experimental data show the same phenomenon. The present paper extends the generality of the phenomenon and explanation from the polyalcohols, a pharmaceutical, and many polymers to the small molecular van der Waals glass-formers.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to examine the crystallization tendencies of three chemically related amorphous anti-inflammatory agents, etoricoxib, celecoxib, and rofecoxib. Since the molecular mobility is considered as one of the factors affecting the crystallization behavior of a given material, broadband dielectric spectroscopy was used to gain insight into the molecular dynamics of the selected active pharmaceutical ingredients. Interestingly, our experiments did not reveal any significant differences in their relaxation behavior either in the supercooled liquid or in the glassy state. Hence, as a possible explanation for the enhanced physical stability of etoricoxib, its ability to undergo a tautomerization reaction was recognized. The occurrence of intramolecular proton transfer in the disordered etoricoxib was proven experimentally by time-dependent dielectric and infrared (IR) measurements. Additionally, IR spectroscopy combined with density functional theory calculations pointed out that in the etoricoxib drug, being in fact a binary mixture of tautomers, the individual isomers may interact with each other through a hydrogen bonding network. A possible explanation of this issue was achieved by performing dielectric experiments at elevated pressure. Since compression results in etoricoxib recrystallization, the possible influence of pressure on the observed stabilization effect is also carefully discussed.

Abstract
The β-relaxation of metallic glasses (MGs) bears nontrivial connections to their microscopic and macroscopic properties. In an effort to elucidate the mechanism of the β-relaxation, we studied by dynamical mechanical measurements the change of its properties on varying the composition of La60Ni15Al25 in various ways. The properties of the β-relaxation turn out to be very sensitive to the composition. It is found that the isochronal loss peak temperature of β-relaxation, Tβ,peak, is effectively determined by the total (La + Ni) content. When Cu is added into the alloy to replace either La, Ni, or Al, the Tβ,peak increases with decrease of the (La + Ni) content. The trend is in accordance with data of binary and ternary MGs formed from La, Ni, Al, and Cu. Binary La-Ni MGs have pronounced β-relaxation loss peaks, well separated from the α-relaxation. In contrast, the β-relaxation is not resolved in La-Al and La-Cu MGs, showing up as an excess wing. For the ternary La-Ni-Al MGs, increase of La or Ni content is crucial to lower the Tβ,peak. Keeping the Al content fixed, increase of La content lowers the Tβ,peak further, indicating the more important role La plays in lowering Tβ,peak than Ni. The observed effects on changing the composition of La60Ni15Al25 lead to the conclusion that the properties of the β-relaxation are mainly determined by the interaction between the largest solvent element, La, and the smallest element, Ni. From our data, it is further deduced that La and Ni have high mobility in the MGs, and this explains why the β-relaxation in this La-based MGs is prominent and well resolved from the α-relaxation as opposed to Pd- and Zr-based MGs where the solvent and largest atoms, Pd and Zr, are the least mobile.

Abstract
Molecular dynamic simulations were carried out on rigid diatomic molecules, which exhibit both α (structural) and β (secondary) dynamics. The relaxation scenarios range from onset behavior, in which a distinct α process emerges on cooling, to merging behavior, associated with two relaxation peaks that converge at higher temperature. These properties, as well as the manifestation of the β peak as an excess wing, depend not only on thermodynamic conditions, but also on both the symmetry of the molecule and the correlation function (odd or even) used to analyze its dynamics. These observations help to reconcile divergent results obtained from different experiments. For example, the β process is more intense and the α-relaxation peak is narrower in dielectric relaxation spectra than in dynamic light scattering or NMR measurements. In the simulations herein, this follows from the weaker contribution of the secondary relaxation to even-order correlation functions, related to the magnitude of the relevant angular jumps.

Abstract
The article reports the dependence of the conductivity relaxation on temperature T and pressure P in the canonical ionic glass former 0.4Ca(NO(3))(2)-0.6KNO(3)(CKN). At constant conductivity relaxation time τ(σ), the entire conductivity relaxation spectra obtained at widely different combinations of T and P superpose almost perfectly, and thus it is the ion-ion interaction but not thermodynamics that determines the frequency dispersion. Moreover, on vitrifying CKN by either elevating P or decreasing T, changes of P or T dependence of τ(σ) at the glass transition pressure P(g) and temperature T(g) are observed to occur at the same value, i.e., τ(σ)(P(g))=τ(σ)(T(g)), indicating that the relation between τ(σ) and the structural relaxation time τ(α) is also independent of P and T.

Abstract
Liquid monohydroxy alcohols exhibit unusual dynamics related to their hydrogen bonding induced structures. The connection between structure and dynamics is studied for liquid 1-propanol using quasi-elastic neutron scattering, combining time-of-flight and neutron spin-echo techniques, with a focus on the dynamics at length scales corresponding to the main peak and the pre-peak of the structure factor. At the main peak, the structural relaxation times are probed. These correspond well to mechanical relaxation times calculated from literature data. At the pre-peak, corresponding to length scales related to H-bonded structures, the relaxation times are almost an order of magnitude longer. According to previous work [C. Gainaru, R. Meier, S. Schildmann, C. Lederle, W. Hiller, E. Rössler, and R. Böhmer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 258303 (2010)] this time scale difference is connected to the average size of H-bonded clusters. The relation between the relaxation times from neutron scattering and those determined from dielectric spectroscopy is discussed on the basis of broad-band permittivity data of 1-propanol. Moreover, in 1-propanol the dielectric relaxation strength as well as the near-infrared absorbance reveal anomalous behavior below ambient temperature. A corresponding feature could not be found in the polyalcohols propylene glycol and glycerol.

Abstract
Abstract
Focusing on metallic glasses as model systems, we review the features and mechanisms of the β-relaxations, which are intrinsic and universal to supercooled liquids and glasses, and demonstrate their importance in understanding many crucial unresolved issues in glassy physics and materials science, including glass transition phenomena, mechanical properties, shear-banding dynamics and deformation mechanisms, diffusion and the breakdown of the Stokes–Einstein relation as well as crystallization and stability of glasses. We illustrate that it is an attractive prospect to incorporate these insights into the design of new glassy materials with extraordinary properties. We also outline important questions regarding the nature of β-relaxations and highlight some emerging research directions in this still-evolving field.

Abstract
Dielectric and mechanical spectroscopy methods have been employed to describe the temperature dependencies of the segmental and macromolecular relaxation rates in epoxy/hydroxy functionalized polybutadiene. Dielectric studies on the dynamics of segments of the polymer as well as the mobility of small ions trapped in the system have been carried out both as a function of temperature and pressure under isobaric and isothermal conditions, respectively.

Abstract
The thermal behavior and transport properties of several ion jellys (IJs), a composite that results from the combination of gelatin with an ionic liquid (IL), were investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (PFG NMR). Four different ILs containing the dicyanamide anion were used: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide (BMIMDCA), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide (EMIMDCA), 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide (BMPyrDCA), and 1-butylpyridinium dicyanamide (BPyDCA); the bulk ILs were also investigated for comparison. A glass transition was detected by DSC for all materials, ILs and IJs, allowing them to be classified as glass formers. Additionally, an increase in the glass transition temperature upon dehydration was observed with a greater extent for IJs, attributed to a greater hindrance imposed by the gelatin matrix after water removal, rendering the IL less mobile. While crystallization is observed for some ILs with negligible water content, it was never detected for any IJ upon thermal cycling, which persist always as fully amorphous materials. From DRS measurements, conductivity and diffusion coefficients for both cations (D+) and anions (D-) were extracted. D+ values obtained by DRS reveal excellent agreement with those obtained from PFG NMR direct measurements, obeying the same VFTH equation over a large temperature range (ΔT ≈ 150 K) within which D+ varies around 10 decades. At temperatures close to room temperature, the IJs exhibit D values comparable to the most hydrated (9%) ILs. The IJ derived from EMIMDCA possesses the highest conductivity and diffusion coefficient, respectively, ∼10(-2) S·cm(-1) and ∼10(-10) m(2)·s(-1). For BMPyrDCA the relaxational behavior was analyzed through the complex permittivity and modulus formalism allowing the assignment of the detected secondary relaxation to a Johari-Goldstein process. Besides the relevant information on the more fundamental nature providing physicochemical details on ILs behavior, new doorways are opened for practical applications by using IJ as a strategy to produce novel and stable electrolytes for different electrochemical devices.

Abstract
In this paper the enthalpy relaxation of polystyrene (PS) was restudied using a structure-dependent Kohlrausch stretch exponent β with incorporation of a coupling model (CM). The structure dependence of β is described in 3 semi-phenomenological equations. The temperature and structure dependence of the relaxation time of the Johari-Goldstein (JG) relaxation (τ JG) is presented using the traditional Tools-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM) and Adam-Gibbs-Vogel (AGV) equations. The fitting results of heat capacity data are much better than the conventional TNM and Adam-Gibbs (AG) models when the structure dependence of β is described using an exponential equation and τ JG is calculated using the AGV equation, although there are one fewer fitting parameters in the new model. The results indicate that both the structure dependence of β and the CM model may play considerable roles in the investigation on the structure relaxation process in polymers around the glass transition.

Abstract
At terahertz frequencies, the libration-vibration motions couple to the dielectric relaxations in disordered hydrogen-bonded solids. The interplay between these processes is still poorly understood, in particular at temperatures below the glass transition temperature, Tg, yet this behavior is of vital importance for the molecular mobility of such materials to remain in the amorphous phase. A series of polyhydric alcohols were studied at temperatures between 80 and 310 K in the frequency range of 0.2-3 THz using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Three universal features were observed in the dielectric losses, ϵ″(ν): (a) At temperatures well below the glass transition, ϵ″(ν) comprises a temperature-independent microscopic peak, which persists into the liquid phase and which is identified as being due to librational/torsional modes. For 0.65 Tg < T < Tg, additional thermally dependent contributions are observed, and we found strong evidence for its relation to the Johari-Goldstein secondary β-relaxation process. (b) Clear spectroscopic evidence is found for a secondary β glass transition at 0.65 Tg, which is not related to the fragility of the glasses. (c) At temperatures above Tg, the losses become dominated by primary α-relaxation processes. Our results show that the thermal changes in the losses seem to be underpinned by a universal change in the hydrogen bonding structure of the samples.

Abstract
Processing protein solutions into the solid state is a common approach for generating stable amorphous protein mixtures that are suitable for long-term storage. Great care is typically given to protecting the protein native structure during the various drying steps that render it into the amorphous solid state. However, many studies illustrate that chemical and physical degradations still occur in spite of this amorphous material having good glassy properties and it being stored at temperatures below its glass transition temperature (Tg). Because of these persistent issues and recent biophysical studies that have refined the debate ascribing meaning to the molecular dynamical transition temperature and Tg of protein molecules, we provide an updated discussion on the impact of assessing and managing localized, individual protein molecule nondiffusive motions in the context of proteins being prepared into bulk amorphous mixtures. Our aim is to bridge the pharmaceutical studies addressing bulk amorphous preparations and their glassy behavior, with the biophysical studies historically focused on the nondiffusive internal protein dynamics and a protein's activity, along with their combined efforts in assessing the impact of solvent hydrogen-bonding networks on local stability. We also provide recommendations for future research efforts in solid-state formulation approaches.

Abstract
It is well established that many mono-hydroxy alcohols show an extra relaxation process of the Debye type in addition to the signatures of primary and secondary structural relaxations, which is observed only in dielectric spectroscopy and related techniques. In order to gain further insight into the nature of this Debye peak, we study the linear and nonlinear dielectric behavior of a series of isomeric octyl alcohols and of mixtures of n-propanol with one of the octanols. These samples display systematic variations of the Debye peak intensity and concomitant changes in the Kirkwood correlation factor gK from 0.1 to 4, indicative of different equilibrium constants, K(c∕r), that characterize the populations of non-polar ring and polar open chain structures. For cases where K(c∕r) is not too far from unity, we find that a high electric field shifts K(c∕r) towards more chains, and that the accompanying change in the end-to-end vector of hydrogen-bond connected structures occurs on the Debye time scale. The results suggest that gK is correlated with the spectral separation of the Debye and primary structural peaks, as both features depend on steric hindrance of chain flexibility or bond rotation barriers and on average chain lengths. Based on the complex dynamics of supercooled mono-hydroxy alcohols with three relaxation peaks that cover many orders of magnitude in frequency, it is argued that a frequency dependent gK may be required for assessing the average orientational correlations within hydrogen-bonded structures correctly.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out on a series of Lennard-Jones binary mixtures of rigid, asymmetric, dumbbell-shaped molecules. Below an onset temperature, the rotational and translational dynamics split into the slow structural α relaxation and a higher-frequency Johari-Goldstein β relaxation. Both processes are dynamically heterogeneous, having broad distributions of relaxation times. However, only the α relaxation shows strong dynamic correlations; correlations at the β time scale are weak, in particular for molecules having shorter bonds. Despite the close connection between the two processes, we find no correlation between the α and β relaxation times of individual molecules; that is, a molecule exhibiting slow β motion does not necessarily undergo slow α dynamics and likewise for fast molecules. However, the single-molecule α relaxation times do correlate with both the α and β relaxation strengths.

Abstract
The fate of matter when decreasing the temperature at constant pressure is that of passing from gas to liquid and, subsequently, from liquid to crystal. However, a class of materials can exist in an amorphous phase below the melting temperature. On cooling such materials, a glass is formed; that is, a material with the rigidity of a solid but exhibiting no long-range order. The study of the thermodynamics and dynamics of glass-forming systems is the subject of continuous research. Within the wide variety of glass formers, an important sub-class is represented by glass forming polymers. The presence of chain connectivity and, in some cases, conformational disorder are unfavourable factors from the point of view of crystallization. Furthermore, many of them, such as amorphous thermoplastics, thermosets and rubbers, are widely employed in many applications. In this review, the peculiarities of the thermodynamics and dynamics of glass-forming polymers are discussed, with particular emphasis on those topics currently the subject of debate. In particular, the following aspects will be reviewed in the present work: (i) the connection between the pronounced slowing down of glassy dynamics on cooling towards the glass transition temperature (Tg) and the thermodynamics; and, (ii) the fate of the dynamics and thermodynamics below Tg. Both aspects are reviewed in light of the possible presence of a singularity at a finite temperature with diverging relaxation time and zero configurational entropy. In this context, the specificity of glass-forming polymers is emphasized.

Abstract
In metallic glasses a clear correlation had been established between plasticity or ductility with the Poisson's ratio νPoisson and alternatively the ratio of the elastic bulk modulus to the shear modulus, K/G. Such a correlation between these two macroscopic mechanical properties is intriguing and is challenging to explain from the dynamics on a microscopic level. A recent experimental study has found a connection of ductility to the secondary β-relaxation in metallic glasses. The strain rate and temperature dependencies of the ductile-brittle transition are similar to the reciprocal of the secondary β-relaxation time, τβ. Moreover, metallic glass is more ductile if the relaxation strength of the β-relaxation is larger and τβ is shorter. The findings indicate the β-relaxation is related to and instrumental for ductility. On the other hand, K/G or νPoisson is related to the effective Debye-Waller factor (i.e., the non-ergodicity parameter), f0, characterizing the dynamics of a structural unit inside a cage formed by other units, and manifested as the nearly constant loss shown in the frequency dependent susceptibility. We make the connection of f0 to the non-exponentiality parameter n in the Kohlrausch stretched exponential correlation function of the structural α-relaxation function, ϕ(t)=exp[-(t/τα)(1-n)]. This connection follows from the fact that both f0 and n are determined by the inter-particle potential, and 1/f0 or (1 - f0) and n both increase with anharmonicity of the potential. A well tested result from the Coupling Model is used to show that τβ is completely determined by τα and n. From the string of relations, (i) K/G or νPoisson with 1/f0 or (1 - f0), (ii) 1/f0 or (1 - f0) with n, and (iii) τα and n with τβ, we arrive at the desired relation between K/G or νPoisson and τβ. On combining this relation with that between ductility and τβ, we have finally an explanation of the empirical correlation between ductility and the Poisson's ratio νPoisson or K/G based on microscopic dynamical properties.
