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

A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

Successful computer studies of glass-forming materials need to overcome both the natural
tendency to structural ordering and the dramatic increase of relaxation times at low …

Metallic glasses, combining metallic bonding and disordered atomic structures, are at the
cutting edge of metallic materials research. Recent advances in this field have revealed that …

Focusing on metallic glasses as model systems, we review the features and mechanisms of
the β-relaxations, which are intrinsic and universal to supercooled liquids and glasses, and …

Vitrification from physical vapor deposition is known to be an efficient way for tuning the
kinetic and thermodynamic stability of glasses and significantly improve their properties …

Two challenging scientific disciplines, ie, the physics of glasses [Anderson, Science 267,
1615 (1995); Kennedy and Norman, Science 309, 75 (2005)] and interface chemistry …

Surfaces mediate the formation of stable glasses (SGs) upon physical vapor deposition
(PVD) for a wide range of glass formers. The thermodynamic and kinetic stability of SGs and …

This chapter provides an overview of important aspects of the phenomenology of glass
formation. It present basic notions and derivations of common theoretical models of the glass …

When a liquid is cooled, progress down the energy landscape is arrested near the glass
transition temperature T g. In principle, lower energy states can be accessed by waiting for …
