35. The fragility is defined by Angell [C.A. Angell, J. Non-Cryst. Solids 131-133, 13 (1991)] as an exponent in the Vogel-Fulcher expression for the viscosity (Formula presented), where (Formula presented) is the freezing temperature. A glass former is called fragile if D is small, i.e., if the vicosity diverges rapidly as T approaches (Formula presented). Otherwise the glass former is “strong.”
