There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and
pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase …

The field of glass science is quickly maturing from a purely empirical science to one built
upon rigorous fundamental physics. These advancements offer an unprecedented level of …

This paper is the fourth in a series devoted to identifying and explaining the properties of
strongly correlating liquids, ie, liquids where virial and potential energy correlate better than …

We present a detailed analysis and discuss consequences of the strong correlations of the
configurational parts of pressure and energy in their equilibrium fluctuations at fixed volume …

This paper is an attempt to identify the real essence of simplicity of liquids in John Locke's
understanding of the term. Simple liquids are traditionally defined as many-body systems of …

In this third paper of the series, which started with Bailey et al [J. Chem. Phys. 129, 184507
(2008); ibid. 129, 184508 (2008)], we continue the development of the theoretical …

This series of papers is devoted to identifying and explaining the properties of strongly
correlating liquids, ie, liquids with more than 90% correlation between their virial W and …

A well-known result of liquid state theory is that the structure of dense fluids is mainly
determined by their repulsive forces. The Weeks-Chandler-Andersen potential, which cuts …

We employ fast scanning calorimetry to monitor the isothermal aging kinetics in glassy
polymers, complemented with measurements on other glasses. Apart from following the time …

Providing a physically sound explanation of aging phenomena in non-equilibrium
amorphous materials is a challenging problem in modern statistical thermodynamics. The …
