Abstract
Using electric fields to initiate the process of physical aging has facilitated measurements of structural recovery dynamics on the time scale of milliseconds. This, however, complicates the interesting comparison with aging processes due to a temperature jump, as these are significantly slower. This study takes a step toward comparing the results of field and temperature perturbations by providing data on field-induced structural recovery of vinyl ethylene carbonate at two different time scales: 1.0 ms at 181 K and 33 s at 169 K, i.e., 4.5 decades apart. It is found that structural recovery is a factor of two slower than structural relaxation in equilibrium, with the latter determined via dielectric relaxation in the limit of linear response. The relation between recovery and relaxation dynamics remains temperature invariant across the present experimental range.

Abstract
Physical aging and structural recovery are the processes with which the structure of a system approaches equilibrium after some perturbation. Various methods exist, that initiate structural recovery, such as changing the temperature or applying a strong, external static field. This work is concerned with high alternating electric fields and their suitability to study structural recovery and aging. The present work demonstrates that rationalizing the nonlinear dielectric response of a supercooled liquid to high-amplitude ac-fields requires multiple fictive temperatures. This feature is in stark contrast to structural recovery after a temperature down-jump or a considerable increase in the static electric field, for which a single parameter, the fictive temperature or material time, describes the structural change. In other words, the structural recovery from a high ac-field does not adhere to time aging-time superposition, which is so characteristic of genuine aging processes.

Abstract
For a molecular glass-former, propylene glycol, we directly compare the equilibrium fluctuations, measured as "structural" relaxation in the regime of linear response, with structural recovery, i.e., field induced physical aging in the limit of a small perturbation. The two distinct correlation functions are derived from a single experiment. Because the relaxation time changes only 2% during structural recovery, no aging model is needed to analyze the results. Although being conceptually different processes, dielectric relaxation and recovery dynamics are observed to be identical for propylene glycol, whereas single-particle dynamics as seen by photon correlation spectroscopy are significantly faster. This confirms the notion that structural recovery and aging are governed by all modes observed by dielectric spectroscopy, i.e., including cross correlations, not only by single-particle dynamics. A comparison with analogous results for other materials suggests that the relation between relaxation and recovery time scales may be material specific rather than universal.

Abstract
Here, we report the intriguing movements of an extended liquid meniscus on a silicon substrate under the influence of sinusoidal alternating current (AC) voltages at different operating frequencies. As opposed to droplet electrowetting, wherein the droplet spreads and experiences oscillations at the free surface, the application of AC voltage to a thin liquid film results in distinct and uniform dewetting, in conjunction with augmented wetting. Image analyzing interferometry is used for the precise measurement of the film thickness profile and other associated parameters. We postulate that the classic Young-Lippmann equation fails to explain the dynamics of an extended meniscus and evince that the dynamics of film displacement could be successfully explained by considering the product of the applied electric field and its gradient, as opposed to the existing consideration of a square dependence on the applied voltage. The physics of the hitherto unreported phenomena is elucidated by developing a mathematical model, taking into consideration all of the germane forces governing the dynamics of the thin liquid film. We affirm that the present study would serve as a fundamental background for a fascinating mode of liquid actuation, with inherent application potential in several existing and novel microfluidic systems.

Abstract
This work aims at reconsidering several interpretations coexisting in the recent literature concerning nonlinear susceptibilities in supercooled liquids. We present experimental results on glycerol and propylene carbonate, showing that the three independent cubic susceptibilities have very similar frequency and temperature dependences, for both their amplitudes and phases. This strongly suggests a unique physical mechanism responsible for the growth of these nonlinear susceptibilities. We show that the framework proposed by two of us [J.-P. Bouchaud and G. Biroli, Phys. Rev. B 72, 064204 (2005)PRBMDO1098-012110.1103/PhysRevB.72.064204], where the growth of nonlinear susceptibilities is intimately related to the growth of glassy domains, accounts for all the salient experimental features. We then review several complementary and/or alternative models and show that the notion of cooperatively rearranging glassy domains is a key (implicit or explicit) ingredient to all of them. This paves the way for future experiments, which should deepen our understanding of glasses.

Abstract
Dielectric relaxation measurements probe how the polarization of a material responds to the application of an external electric field, providing information on structure and dynamics of the sample. In the limit of small fields and thus linear response, such experiments reveal the properties of the material in the same thermodynamic state it would have in the absence of the external field. At sufficiently high fields, reversible changes in enthalpy and entropy of the system occur even at constant temperature, and these will in turn alter the polarization responses. The resulting nonlinear dielectric effects feature field induced suppressions (saturation) and enhancements (chemical effect) of the amplitudes, as well as time constant shifts towards faster (energy absorption) and slower (entropy reduction) dynamics. This review focuses on the effects of high electric fields that are reversible and observed at constant temperature for single component glass-forming liquids. The experimental challenges involved in nonlinear dielectric experiments, the approaches to separating and identifying the different sources of nonlinear behavior, and the current understanding of how high electric fields affect dielectric materials will be discussed. Covering studies from Debye's initial approach to the present state-of-the-art, it will be emphasized what insight can be gained from the nonlinear responses that are not available from dielectric relaxation results obtained in the linear regime.

Abstract
Using temperature-resolved dielectric spectroscopy in the range of 75-320 K we have inspected the solid-like and liquid-like arrangements of nanometric dipoles (polar nanoregions) embedded in sodium-enriched potassium-tantalate-niobate (KNTN), a chemically-substituted complex perovskite crystal hosting inherent substitutional disorder. The study of order versus direction is carried out using Fröhlich entropy measurements and indicates the presence of four long-range symmetry phases, two of which are found to display profoundly anisotropic features. Exotic phases are found for which the dipoles at one fixed temperature manifest a liquid reorientational response along one crystal axis and a solid-like behavior along another axis. The macroscopic anisotropy observed in the sequence of different phases is found to match a microscopic order-disorder sequence typical of nominally pure perovskites. Moreover, experimental demonstration of the onset of a frozen state above transitions is provided.

Abstract
The location of the hydroxyl group in monohydroxy alcohols greatly affects the temperature dependence of the liquid structure due to hydrogen bonding. Temperature-dependent self-diffusion coefficients, fluidity (the inverse of viscosity), dielectric constant, and density have been measured for several 1-alcohols and 3-alcohols with varying alkyl chain lengths. The data are modeled using the compensated Arrhenius formalism (CAF). The CAF follows a modified transition state theory using an Arrhenius-like expression to describe the transport property, which consists of a Boltzmann factor containing an energy of activation, Ea, and an exponential prefactor containing the temperature-dependent solution dielectric constant, εs(T). Both 1- and 3-alcohols show the Ea of diffusion coefficients (approximately 43 kJ mol(-1)) is higher than the Ea of fluidity (approximately 35 kJ mol(-1)). The temperature dependence of the exponential prefactor in these associated liquids is explained using the dielectric constant and the Kirkwood-Frölich correlation factor, gk. It is argued that the dielectric constant must be used to account for the additional temperature dependence due to variations in the liquid structure (e.g., hydrogen bonding) for the CAF to accurately model the transport property.

Abstract
Nonlinear dielectric effect (NDE) describes changes of dielectric permittivity induced by a strong electric field in a liquid dielectric. The most classical finding related to this magnitude is the negative sign of NDE in liquid diethyl ether (DEE), recalled by Peter Debye in his Nobel Prize lecture. This article shows that the positive sign of NDE in DEE is also possible, in the supercritical domain. Moreover, NDE on approaching the gas-liquid critical point exhibits a unique critical effect described by the critical exponent ψ ≈ 0.4 close to critical temperature (T(C)) and ψ ≈ 0.6 remote from T(C). This can be linked to the emergence of the mean-field behavior in the immediate vicinity of T(C), contrary to the typical pattern observed for critical phenomena. The multi-frequency mode of NDE measurements made it possible to estimate the evolution of lifetime of critical fluctuations. The new way of data analysis made it possible to describe the critical effect without a knowledge of the non-critical background contribution in prior.

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.
