The Kovacs effect is a remarkable feature of the ageing dynamics of glass forming liquids near the glass transition temperature. It consists in a non-monotonous evolution of the volume/enthalpy after a succession of two abrupt temperature changes: first from a high initial temperature T i to a much lower annealing temperature T a followed by a smaller second jump back to a slightly higher final temperature T f. The second change is performed when the instantaneous value of the volume/enthalpy…

It is shown that a distinguishable-particle lattice model can capture both the asymmetry and the paradox and quantitatively characterize the energetic states of the particle configurations using a physical realization of the fictive temperature called the structural temperature.

We discuss the 'memory effect' discovered in the 1960s by Kovacs in temperature shift experiments on glassy polymers, where the volume (or energy) displays a non-monotonic time behaviour. This effect…

Aging to the equilibrium liquid state of organic glasses is studied and the liquid has an "internal clock," a fact that is established by showing that aging is controlled by the same material time that controls the dielectric properties.

It is shown that single-particle memory effects, such as negativity of the specific heat under reheating, vanish for a sufficiently disordered ensemble, which displays a collective memory effect similar to the Kovacs effect.
