CHARACTERISTIC RATE OF COOLING AND GLASSING OF LIQUIDS
The work is devoted to the analysis and generalization of kinetic criteria for glass transition using the model of delocalized atoms. A generalized criterion for the liquid-glass transition is proposed. A liquid transforms into a frozen glassy state when its cooling rate q = dT/dt reaches a certain fraction of Cg of the characteristic cooling rate qg = Tg/τg, which is closely related to the relaxation time of the structure tan at the glass transition temperature Tg.
