Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

Here we explore the low-temperature heat capacity (C p) of two natural endmember volcanic
glasses, unveiling an unprecedented anomalous upturn in C p/T³ versus temperature (T) …

The Boson peak is a universal phenomenon in amorphous solids. It can be observed as an
anomalous contribution to the low-temperature heat capacity over the Debye model …

In this work, the thermal lens spectrometry was applied to measure the thermo-optical
properties of Nd2O3-doped low silica calcium aluminosilicate glasses as a function of …

We argue that nonlocal effects represented by fractionary terms in the kinetic energy can be
relevant to achieve a satisfactory phenomenological description of the thermal behavior of …

Why should one care about a bit of rattling in disordered materials? On the face of it, the
states addressed in this monograph only amount to a few 10s ppm of the total number of …

In this work we present our findings performing low frequency Raman measurements over
temperature in a tellurite-tungstate glass sample. The spectra could be fitted by using only …

Two Ti-based bulk metallic glasses, with the nominal composition of Ti40Zr25Ni8Cu9Be18
and Ti41. 5Cu37. 5Ni7. 5Zr2. 5Hf5Sn5Si1, who exhibit different structural nature (quenched …

Low-frequency (down to 30 GHz) inelastic light scattering is studied in a multicomponent
glass ZBLAN (ZrF 4-BaF 2-LaF 3-AlF 3-NaF) in a wide temperature range. The contributions …

The origin of the broad maximum in the specific heat (c P) of glassy systems in the c P/T 3
representation, in correspondence with the boson peak, has been described from a …
