Q2. Why do the interactions occur in the PLT?
The interactions are accompanied by propagation of elastic energy in forms of wave-packets because of the anharmonicity of the potential field [1].
Q3. Why is the PLT able to provide an indication of the variation range of the relaxation time?
Because of the thermodynamic-statistical nature of the theory, PLT from its side is only able to provide an indication of the variation range of the relaxation time through the value of the product .
Q4. What happens when wave-packets propagate in the amorphous phase?
When wave-packets propagate in the amorphous phase, the speed of sound decreases and the same happens for the other liquid parameters.
Q5. What is the purpose of light scattering experiments?
Light scattering experiments performed during the non stationary phase should allow to investigate the dynamics of the system when the glassy and liquid-to-solid transitions are crossed.
Q6. What is the frequency of occurrence of particle jumps in a liquid?
at a given temperature, the characteristic time t of a perturbation propagating in the liquid is much shorter than F (or the frequency f much larger than F ), over the time interval t the medium is seen by the perturbation as a solid, because the particles have not enough time to rearrange.
Q7. What is the role of a phonon in the formation of a solid?
These solid-like structures, that the authors like to call icebergs, interact with lattice particles, the phonons, present in liquids and responsible for the propagation of elastic and thermal energy.
Q8. What is the definition of a liquid state?
The liquid state resembles an ocean where pieces of solid continue to exist and participate in the propagation of energy and momentum.
Q9. What is the effect of the wave-packet on the particle?
If the elementary wave-packet liquid-particle interactions would be perfectly elastic, all the energy (and momentum) lost by the wave-packet in an event such that of Figure 1a would be acquired by the particle and converted into kinetic energy, only the translational DoF being involved in the scattering process.
Q10. How does the energy and momentum in liquids change with temperature?
As the temperature increases this property is progressively lost and energy and momentum are propagated only by means of longitudinal DoF, because only collisional mechanisms are involved.
Q11. What is the inverse of the number of lattice collective DoF in a?
the number m of lattice collective DoF available in a liquid, introduced in Eq.(1),decreases as the temperature increases, 0dTdm .
