Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …

Recent progress in the description of glassy relaxation and aging are reviewed for the wide
class of network-forming materials such as GeO 2, Ge x Se 1− x, silicates (SiO 2–Na 2 O) or …

This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of amorphous solids and related
disordered condensed matter systems. Important concepts from statistical mechanics such …

Borosilicate glasses display a rich complexity of chemical behavior depending on the details
of their composition and thermal history. Noted for their high chemical durability and thermal …

We present a topological model for the composition dependence of glass transition
temperature and fragility. Whereas previous topological models are derived for zero …

Glass transition temperature and fragility are two important properties derived from the
temperature dependence of the shear viscosity of glass-forming melts. While direct …

The computational design of new materials has long been a “holy grail” within the materials
chemistry community. However, accurate prediction of glass properties from first principles is …

Raman scattering from binary Ge x Se 1− x glasses under hydrostatic pressure shows onset
of a steady increase in the frequency of modes of corner-sharing Ge Se 4 tetrahedral units …

The field of glass science is quickly maturing from a purely empirical science to one built
upon rigorous fundamental physics. These advancements offer an unprecedented level of …

The behaviour of bonding constraints with temperature is analyzed from an atomic scale
approach (Molecular Dynamics, MD) combined with partial bond angle distributions (PBAD) …
