Viscoelasticity and dynamical gaps: Rigidity in crystallization and glass-forming liquids

Rigidity plays an important role on the relaxation properties of glass forming melts, yet it is usually determined from the average coordination number through the chemical composition. A discussion is presented on how viscoelasticity can be used as an alternative way to determine glass rigidity and...
