Abstract  

Through structural relaxation, the configuration of a viscous liquid changes to allow the Gibbs free energy to be minimum in response to temperature variations. In this review, the practical importance of relaxation in silicate melts is first illustrated by configurational heat capacity and entropy and their connection with viscosity via Adam-Gibbs theory. Relaxation effects on thermal expansion and compressibility are then examined, and the similarity of the kinetics of structural, enthalpy and volume relaxation is pointed out. Turning to microscopic mechanisms, we finally stress the importance of Si-O bond exchange and its decoupling with the motion of network-modifying elements near the glass transition.
