説明:

We have measured the X-ray diffraction data of toluene liquid at several temperatures between 300 K and 180 K and those of glasses prepared by liquid-quenching (LQ) and vapor-deposition (VD) at 3 K. The VD glasses annealed at 90 K and 112 K were also measured at 3 K. Throughout the measurements, we used a custom-made cryostat for VD experiments and a high energy X-ray diffractometer at BL04B2, SPring-8. The structure factor S(Q) of each state was successfully fitted with potential fitting with molecular dynamics simulation and reverse Monte Carlo methods. Interestingly, in both liquid and glassy states, the most preferred intermolecular structure is not parallel one, which is the most stable dimer in vacuo, but the T-shaped one in which two hydrogen atoms of a benzene ring are pointing toward a benzene ring of a neighboring molecule. The abundance of the T-shape and side-by-side structures increase with a decrease of temperature and annealing of the VD glass. As one possibility, we propose that the T-shape structure can be constructing elements of cooperatively rearranging region (CRR) which is conceived in Adam-Gibbs theory.
