The crystal–liquid–glass phase transition of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) offers attractive opportunities as a new class of amorphous materials …

The structure of disordered materials is still not well understood because of insufficient
experimental data. Indeed, diffraction patterns from disordered materials are very broad and …

非晶态物质是复杂的多体相互作用体系, 其基本特征是原子和电子结构复杂, 微观结构长程无序,
体系在能量上处在亚稳态, 具有复杂的多重弛豫行为, 其物理, 化学和力学性质 …

Amorphous materials have no long-range order, but there are ordered structures at short
range (2–5 Å), medium range (5–20 Å) and even longer length scales,,,–. While regular, and …

We take familiar inorganic oxide glasses and non-oxide glasses and the liquids from which
they derive to review the current understanding of their atomic structure, ranging from the …

The broken symmetry in the atomic-scale ordering of glassy versus crystalline solids leads to
a daunting challenge to provide suitable metrics for describing the order within disorder …

The techniques of neutron diffraction and x-ray diffraction, as applied to structural studies of
liquids and glasses, are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the explanation and discussion of …

Molten phases of metal–organic networks offer exciting opportunities for using coordination
chemistry principles to access liquids and glasses with unique and tunable structures and …

Neutron and x-ray diffraction are widely used to measure the structure of liquids and
disordered solids. Using techniques such as isotope substitution or anomalous dispersion or …

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are archetypes of microporous coordination
polymers/metal–organic frameworks whose versatile composition allows for diverse …
