Temperature development of glassy α-relaxation dynamics determined by broadband dielectric spectroscopy.

We present the temperature dependence of α -relaxation times of 13 glass formers determined from broadband dielectric spectroscopy, also including data from aging measurements. The data sets partly cover relaxation-time ranges of up to 16 decades enabling a critical test of the validity of model predictions. For this purpose, the data are provided for electronic download. Here we employ these results to test the applicability of the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann equation and a recently proposed new approach that was demonstrated to provide superior fits of a vast collection of viscosity data.
