Fragilities of Liquids Predicted from the Random First Order Transition Theory of Glasses

A microscopically motivated theory of glassy dynamics based on an underlying random first order transition is developed to explain the magnitude of free energy barriers for glassy relaxation. A variety of empirical correlations embodied in the concept of liquid "fragility" are shown to be...
