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 …

T-modulated differential scanning calorimetry measurements on bulk As x Se 1− x glasses
show that the glass transition temperature T g (x) variation at x< 0.12 is linear with a slope dT …

The effects of floppy modes in the thermodynamical properties of a system are studied. From
thermodynamical arguments, we deduce that floppy modes are not at zero frequency and …

In this study, a series of polyamide membranes with improved water permeability and
thermal stability for forward osmosis applications were synthesized with the main objective …

Raman scattering measurements, undertaken on bulk GexSe1− x glasses at 0< x< 1/3, show
evidence of two rigidity transitions as monitored by compositional trends in corner-sharing …

Three groups of Ge–Sb–Se glasses with compositions Ge x Sb10Se90–x, Ge x Sb15Se85–
x, and Ge x Sb20Se80–x have been systematically studied with the aim of understanding …

The outstanding thermal, mechanical and optical properties of borosilicate glasses give
them significant advantages for applications where conventional soda–lime–silica glasses …

In the present investigation, BaO effect is studied on the crystallization kinetics of (40-x) SrO-
xBaO-45SiO2-10B2O3-ZrO2 (x= 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 mol%) glasses. To understand the …

Nanoscale phase separation effects are of general interest in glass science. Such structural
effects produce usually pronounced changes in glass physical properties which can mask …
