1. It should be noted that there is some inconsistent use of the terms "plastic crystal," "orientationally disordered crystal," or "orientational glass" in the literature. In the present work, we use the term plastic crystal for crystalline compounds that exhibit any kind of orientational disorder.

B JPCBFK 1089-5647 114, 3618 (2010)], binary mixtures of canonical glass formers were found to exhibit a lower fragility than expected from the composition average of the fragilities of the pure components. 10.1021/jp912223j
