Ultrastable glasses (mostly prepared from the vapor phase under optimized deposition
conditions) represent a unique class of materials with low enthalpies and high kinetic …

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

This article describes recent progress in understanding highly stable glasses prepared by
physical vapor deposition and provides perspective on further research directions for the …

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 …

Among molecular glasses, griseofulvin (GSF) is one of the fastest crystallizing. To
understand this property, we have measured the surface diffusion in GSF using the method …

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 …

Amorphous formulations provide a general approach to improving the solubility and
bioavailability of drugs. Amorphous medicines for global health should resist crystallization …

The density, degree of molecular orientation, and molecular layering of vapor-deposited
stable glasses (SGs) vary with substrate temperature (T dep) below the glass-transition …

The anisotropic properties of organic glasses produced by physical vapor deposition (PVD)
depend upon substrate temperature and deposition rate. In recent work, it was shown for a …

We design and synthesize a set of homologous organic molecules by taking advantage of
facile and tailorable Suzuki cross coupling reactions to produce triarylbenzene derivatives …
