title: Viscosity at the dynamic crossover in o-terphenyl and salol under high pressure.
abstract: The viscosities of two prototypical glass formers, o-terphenyl and phenyl salicylate (salol), are shown to exhibit a change in their temperature and pressure dependences at a constant value of the viscosity. This is the first evidence of a dynamic crossover in the viscosity induced by pressure. The characteristic value associated with the change in dynamics is material dependent, but independent of temperature and pressure. These results are in accord with the previous finding, for other glass formers, that the dielectric relaxation time assumes a density-independent value at the dynamic crossover.
