When deformed beyond their elastic limits, crystalline solids flow plastically via particle
rearrangements localized around structural defects. Disordered solids also flow, but without …

It has been previously shown that the free surface of molecular glasses has enhanced
surface diffusion compared to the bulk. However, the degree by which the glass dynamics …

We detail the formation and properties associated with stable glasses (SG) formed by a
series of structural analogues of 1, 3-bis (1-naphthyl)-5-(2-naphthyl) benzene (α, α, β-TNB) …

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 …

Interfacial interactions can play an important role in the glass transition temperature (T g)
and relaxation dynamics of ultra-thin glass polymer films. We have recently shown that …

Stable glasses are formed during physical vapor deposition (PVD), through the surface-
mediated equilibration process. Understanding surface relaxation dynamics is important in …

Birefringence in stable glasses produced by physical vapor deposition often implies
molecular alignment similar to liquid crystals. As such, it remains unclear whether these …

Stable glasses (SGs) are formed through surface-mediated equilibration (SME) during
physical vapor deposition (PVD). Unlike intermolecular interactions, the role of …

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 …

Dielectric relaxation was used to characterize the ability of vapor-deposited mixtures of cis-
and trans-decahydroisoquinoline (DHIQ) to form glasses with a high kinetic stability. Vapor …
