Abstract

An empirical formula relating the heat capacity jump in the glass transition range to the temperature coefficient of the viscosity logarithm for oxide glass-forming materials over a wide range of compositions is derived. A method is proposed for evaluating the heat capacity and the heat capacity jump in the glass transition range from composition of glass-forming melts in the oxide system containing 64 components. The results of calculations are compared with the experimental data available in the SciGlass information system. The root-mean-square deviation between the calculated and experimental heat capacities of melts is equal to ∼2.5 J/(g-atom K), which corresponds to a relative error of 8–10%. The relationships proposed can be used for estimating relaxation changes of the heat capacity in the glass transition range in glasses for which this property is not studied experimentally.
