Owing to their unique properties, hybrid organic–inorganic (HOI) materials with a variety of
spatial architectures have emerged as potential candidates for state-of-the-art applications …

The field of viscous liquid and glassy solid dynamics is reviewed by a process of posing the
key questions that need to be answered, and then providing the best answers available to …

Glasses can be formed by many routes. In some cases, distinct polyamorphic forms are
found. The normal mode of glass formation is cooling of a viscous liquid. Liquid behavior …

Flexible thermoelectric generators (f-TEGs) are emerging as a semipermanent power source
for self-powered sensors, which is an important area of research for next-generation smart …

If crystallization can be avoided when a liquid is cooled, it will typically form a glass. Near the
glass transition temperature the viscosity increases continuously but rapidly with cooling. As …

Silicon in its liquid and amorphous forms occupies a unique position among amorphous
materials. Obviously important in its own right, the amorphous form is structurally close to the …

We review the Kauzmann paradox and what it implies about the configuration space energy
hypersurface for “structural glassformers.” With this background, we then show how the …

In this review we have examined the crystallization behavior of a-Si over the
temperaturerange from 500° C to∼ 1380° C. We have shown that SPE is a thermally …

We have investigated the phase transformation mechanisms and the resulting
microstructures of excimer laser‐induced crystallization of amorphous Si films on SiO2. It is …

Ion-beam-induced amorphization in Si has attracted significant interest since the beginning
of the use of ion implantation for the fabrication of Si devices. A number of theoretical …
