Mode-coupling theory and the glass transition in supercooled liquids

SP Das - Reviews of modern physics, 2004 - APS
Mode-coupling theory is an approach to the study of complex behavior in the supercooled
liquids which developed from the idea of a nonlinear feedback mechanism. From the …

Enthalpy relaxation and recovery in amorphous materials

IM Hodge - Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 1994 - Elsevier
