118 High Q collective modes<br />

find any correlation to neither of the fragilities. However, it appears that there is a<br />

correlation between nonergodicity factor and the effect of density on the relaxation<br />

time, the most promising being a correlation between<br />

d log e(ρ)<br />

d log ρ<br />

and f Q (T g ). This<br />

hypo<strong>thesis</strong> is based on limited data and more systems are needed to verify the<br />

trend.<br />

We find that f Q (T g ) at Q = 2 nm −1 is well interpreted in terms of compressibilities.<br />

A physical interpretation of the correlation is that therefore the larger the vibrational<br />

compressibility is relative to the total compressibility the more sensitive to density<br />

is the characteristic energy scale of the system.
