The sources of the tensile strength and fracture of both continuous glass fibers and
discontinuous wool fibers are explored in terms of structural anisotropy, enthalpy relaxation …

Density, Raman spectroscopy and viscosity measurements are utilized to probe,
respectively, the volume, structural and shear relaxation behavior of a Na-Ca-Mg silicate …

The calorimetric features that have been broadly used to assign a glass transition
temperature T g of 136 K to amorphous water are qualitatively reproduced with a phase …

The structural relaxation properties of 34 compositions of Ge–As–Se glass forming liquids
are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The fragility index (m) and …

Long term aging, extending from months to several years, is studied on several families of
chalcogenide glasses including the Ge–Se, As–Se, and Ge–As–Se systems. Special …
