Abstract

We have studied the relation between the structural relaxation and the frequency-dependent thermal response or the specific heat, cp(ω), in a supercooled liquid. The mode coupling theory (MCT) results are used to obtain cp(ω ) corresponding to different wave vectors. Due to the two-step relaxation process present in the MCT, an extra peak, in addition to the low-frequency peak, is predicted in specific heat at high frequency.
