Amorphous materials are metastable solids with only short-range order at the atomic scale,
which results from local intermolecular chemical bonding. The lack of long-range order …

Amorphous nanomaterials have aroused extensive interest due to their unique properties.
Their performance is highly related with their distinct atomic arrangements, which have no …

Conspectus Amorphous nanomaterials, with unique structural features such as long-range
atomic disorder and nanoscale particle or grain sizes, possess some advantageous …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (sheet-like materials with few-atoms thickness
and lateral size above 100 nm) have always aroused scientists' interests since 2004 when …

Crystalline–amorphous hybrid materials (CA-HMs) possess the merits of both pure
crystalline and amorphous phases. Abundant dangling bonds, unsaturated coordination …

Amorphous and nanocrystalline materials are a class of their own. Their properties are quite
different to those of the corresponding crystalline materials. This book gives systematic …

Amorphous nanomaterials have emerged as potential candidates for energy storage and
conversion owing to their amazing physicochemical properties. Recent studies have proved …

Amorphous alloys, also known as metallic glasses, are solid metallic materials having long-
range disordered atomic structures. Compared to crystalline alloys, amorphous alloys not …

Nanoglasses represent a novel structural modification of amorphous materials, exhibiting
properties and structural details that are markedly different from those observed in metallic …

Amorphous alloys structurally deviate from crystalline materials in that they possess unique
short-range ordered and long-range disordered atomic arrangement. They are important …
