TL;DR: In the temperature range studied the model amorphous solids were in a transition zone between regions of very high molecular mobility above Tg and very low molecular mobility much further below Tg, which should be expected to experience significant molecular mobility at temperatures up to fifty degrees below their glass transition temperature.
Abstract: Purpose. To measure the molecular mobility of amorphous pharmaceutical solids below their glass transition temperatures (Tg), using indomethacin, poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and sucrose as model compounds.
Methods. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to measure enthalpic relaxation of the amorphous samples after storage at temperatures 16-47 K below Tg for various time periods. The measured enthalpy changes were used to calculate molecular relaxation time parameters. Analogous changes in specimen dimensions were measured for PVP films using thermomechanical analysis.
Results. For all the model materials it was necessary to cool to at least 50 K below the experimental Tg before the molecular motions detected by DSC could be considered to be negligible over the lifetime of a typical pharmaceutical product. In each case the temperature dependence of the molecular motions below Tg was less than that typically reported above Tg and was rapidly changing.
Conclusions. In the temperature range studied the model amorphous solids were in a transition zone between regions of very high molecular mobility above Tg and very low molecular mobility much further below Tg. In general glassy pharmaceutical solids should be expected to experience significant molecular mobility at temperatures up to fifty degrees below their glass transition temperature.

TL;DR: The thermal properties of the 14 nonmagnetic cubic metals through the 4d transition series are derived from first-principles electronic-structure calculations coupled with a Debye treatment of the vibrating lattice.
Abstract: The thermal properties of the 14 nonmagnetic cubic metals through the 4d transition series are derived from first-principles electronic-structure calculations coupled with a Debye treatment of the vibrating lattice. Debye temperatures and Gr\"uneisen constants are derived from an analysis of the compressional characteristics of rigid-lattice binding curves and are used to define the contribution of the lattice vibrations to the free energy. A minimization of the resulting free energy with respect to volume yields temperature-dependent lattice separations and coefficients of thermal expansion. Theoretical values of cohesive energies, equilibrium lattice separations, bulk moduli, Debye temperatures, Gr\"uneisen constants, and coefficients of thermal expansion are derived directly from computed electronic-structure results. Good agreement with experiment is found for all computed quantities.
