An entropy based theory for the viscosity of strong glasses
One of the main applications of the stochastic matrix method is the evaluation of the probability of finding boroxol rings and dendrites in a boron oxide glass. In this work, we calculate the configurational entropy of B(2)0(3) using this probability and Shannon's definition of entropy. The isentropic temperature is evaluated obtaining a very good agreement with experimental data. Entropy is introduced into the Adam-Gibbs equation to calculate viscosity. The resulting expression fits the complete range of temperatures for the supercooled liquid.
