Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

The rate at which a nonequilibrium system decreases its free energy is commonly ascribed
to molecular relaxation processes, arising from spontaneous rearrangements at the …

Polymer coatings of nanometric thickness are about to enter in everyday life as part of a
wide range of applications such as protective layers, stimuli-responsive membranes or as …

The slow transition from an out-of-equilibrium glass towards a supercooled liquid is a
complex relaxation phenomenon. In this Letter, we study the correlation between …

非晶合金弛豫/晶化, 玻璃转变, 塑性变形等热力学和动力学行为都与其固有的结构非均匀性密切
相关. 但是, 由于淹没在亚稳的长程无序结构中, 探究非晶合金的结构非均匀性十分困难. 尤其 …

The phenomenology of the glass transition and the associated behavior in the near liquid
and glassy states are detailed, including the cooling rate dependence of the glass transition …

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

Focusing on metallic glasses as model systems, we review the features and mechanisms of
the β-relaxations, which are intrinsic and universal to supercooled liquids and glasses, and …

The noncrystalline glassy state of matter plays a role in virtually all fields of materials science
and offers complementary properties to those of the crystalline counterpart. The caveat of the …
