Glasses produced by physical vapor deposition exhibit different densities and relaxation behaviors, depending upon the deposition conditions. Glasses deposited at temperatures of about 0.85 of glass transition temperature Tg, called stable glass, have low enthalpy, low heat capacity, high kinetic stability and high density, while glasses deposited at much lower temperatures than Tg have opposite properties. We have investigated the glasses of 1-pentene and ethylcyclohexane created from PVD in a wide range of deposition temperatures between 10 K and 120 K by fast-scanning and AC chip nanocalorimetry. Fast-scanning calorimetry provides information about the enthalpy of the deposited samples, while AC chip nanocalorimetry allows for a highly sensitive heat capacity measurement on the same samples.
