| Description | Journal: Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter Open network liquids like $B_{2}O_{3}$ show an Arrhenius variation of the viscosity (or structural relaxation time) between $T_{g}$ and the high-temperature limit, and provide the `strong' liquid extreme of the pattern. `Fragile' liquids have quite non-Arrhenius relaxation properties and typically consist of molecules interacting through nondirectional, noncovalent interaction. This strong/fragile liquid pattern has been used as the basis for a classification of glass forming liquids to indicate the sensitivity of the liquid structure to temperature changes. In a recent paper Barrio et al evaluated the probability of forming a ring in vitreous $B_{2}O_{3}$ by the stochastic matrix method which is a description of the growth process of a solid. In this work we find a theoretical Arrhenius equation for the average relaxation time (or viscosity) of the strong glass forming liquid $B_{2}O_{3}$ using the stochastic matrix method proposed by these authors. To carry out our purpose we take the average relaxation time as inversely proportional to the average transition probability and the transition probability as the probability of forming a ring calculated for a large number of steps of growth. We also introduce the temperature derivative method to recognize the functional dependence for the viscosity. |
