The role of local structure in dynamical arrest

CP Royall, SR Williams - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

The structure of amorphous, crystalline and liquid GeO2

M Micoulaut, L Cormier… - Journal of Physics …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Germanium dioxide (GeO 2) is a chemical analogue of SiO 2. Furthermore, it is also to some
extent a structural analogue, as the low-and high-pressure short-range order (tetrahedral …

Long-range topological order in metallic glass

Q Zeng, H Sheng, Y Ding, L Wang, W Yang, JZ Jiang… - Science, 2011 - science.org
Glass lacks the long-range periodic order that characterizes a crystal. In the Ce75Al25
metallic glass (MG), however, we discovered a long-range topological order corresponding …

From short to medium range order in glasses and melts by diffraction and Raman spectroscopy

JWE Drewitt, L Hennet… - Reviews in Mineralogy …, 2022 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The structure of glasses and the melts from which they are formed is intrinsically disordered,
making their structural characterization difficult. Whilst the structure of solid minerals can be …

Relaxation and physical aging in network glasses: a review

M Micoulaut - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Joint diffraction and modeling approach to the structure of liquid alumina

The structure of liquid alumina at a temperature∼ 2400 K near its melting point was
measured using neutron and high-energy x-ray diffraction by employing containerless …

Understanding diffraction patterns of glassy, liquid and amorphous materials via persistent homology analyses

Y Onodera, S Kohara, S Tahara, A Masuno… - Journal of the Ceramic …, 2019 - jstage.jst.go.jp
The absence of translational symmetry, and the very much present complexity in the
structure of glassy, liquid, and amorphous materials make glass science a challenging field …

Intermediate range order in vitreous silica from a partial structure factor analysis

Q Mei, CJ Benmore, S Sen, R Sharma, JL Yarger - Physical Review B …, 2008 - APS
By combining the methods of isotopic substitution in neutron diffraction and high-energy x-
ray diffraction, we have determined partial structure factors of vitreous SiO 2. A discussion of …

Networks under pressure: the development of in situ high-pressure neutron diffraction for glassy and liquid materials

PS Salmon, A Zeidler - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
The pressure-driven collapse in the structure of network-forming materials will be
considered in the gigapascal (GPa) regime, where the development of in situ high-pressure …
