%0 Journal Article %T The instantaneous shear modulus in the shoving model %A Jeppe C. Dyre %A Wei Hua Wang %J Physics %D 2012 %I arXiv %R 10.1063/1.4724102 %X We point out that the instantaneous shear modulus of the shoving model for the non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of viscous liquids' relaxation time is the experimentally accessible high-frequency plateau modulus, not the idealized instantaneous affine shear modulus that cannot be measured. Data for a large selection of metallic glasses are compared to three different versions of the shoving model. The original shear-modulus based version shows a slight correlation to the Poisson ratio, which is eliminated by the energy-landscape formulation of the model in which the bulk modulus plays a minor role. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.6644v3
