Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Using broadband dielectric spectroscopy, we investigated the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the conductivity relaxation time τ_{σ} of the supercooled protic ionic liquid, procainamide hydrochloride, a common pharmaceutical. The pressure dependence of τ_{σ} exhibited anomalous behavior in the vicinity of the glass transition T_{g}, manifested by abrupt changes in activation volume. This peculiar behavior, paralleling the change in temperature dependence of τ_{σ} near T_{g}, is a manifestation of the decoupling between electrical conductivity and structural relaxation. Although the latter effectively ceases in the glassy state, free ions retain their mobility but with a reduced sensitivity to thermodynamic changes. This is the first observation of decoupling of ion migration from structural relaxation in a glassy conductor by isothermal densification.
