An understanding of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids at temperatures significantly above the glass transition still represents a much-coveted goal. If any theory or explanation is to be extrapolated to understand the undercooled regime from knowledge of high-temperature equilibrium states, a consensus must first exist on the underlying physics of the liquid phase at temperatures above the glass transition.
The aim of this work is to provide a detailed and critical appraisal of two specific questions about the dynamics of liquid glycerol, a prototypical glass-forming liquid: The first one concerns how many distinct dynamical processes are present in glycerol in the sub-nanosecond regime. The second one concerns whether a homogeneus (dynamically driven) or heterogeneous (structurally driven) scenario better describes Quasielastic Neutron Scattering data and Molecular Dynamics simulations.
