Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

Recent progress in the description of glassy relaxation and aging are reviewed for the wide
class of network-forming materials such as GeO 2, Ge x Se 1− x, silicates (SiO 2–Na 2 O) or …

Two or more liquid states may exist even for single-component substances, which is known
as liquid polymorphism, and the transition between them is called liquid–liquid transition …

Despite decades of studies, the nature of the glass transition remains elusive. In particular,
the sharpness of the dynamical arrest of a melt at the glass transition is captured by its …

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the chalcogenide glass science and
various applications based on the glasses. It starts with a review on the glass-forming ability …

The past decade has witnessed a significant upsurge in the development of borate and
borosilicate based resorbable bioactive glasses owing to their faster degradation rate in …

The present study reports the annealing induced structural as well as optical properties of
Ag 2 S/As 2 Se 3 heterostructure film at different annealing temperatures. The trigonal …

In the present study, tellurium-rich (45–55 mol%) As-Se-Te chalcogenide glasses were
synthesized and purified further to eliminate the impurities for achieving extended far …

As x Se 1− x glasses are promising candidates as matrix for mid-infrared applications, but it
is usually invasive, costly and time-consuming or even impossible to measure the onset …

Two series of aluminum lead borate glasses,(Al 2 O 3) y (PbO) 35-y (B 2 O 3) 65 and (Al 2 O
3) y (PbO) 70-y (B 2 O 3) 30, were prepared and effect of PbO→ Al 2 O 3 substitution on their …
