Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …

Chalcogenide glasses are defined as a new category of non-crystalline solids on the basis
of their characteristic covalent bonds and unique properties, such as broad infrared …

We take familiar inorganic oxide glasses and non-oxide glasses and the liquids from which
they derive to review the current understanding of their atomic structure, ranging from the …

Amicroscopic physical description of the glassy state long has eluded even the top scientists
in condensed matter physics because of the complicated noncrystalline nature of glass …

Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are commonly used to predict the structure
and properties of glasses, they are intrinsically limited to short time scales, necessitating the …

Despite their transformative role in our society, oxide glasses remain brittle. Although
extrinsic postprocessing techniques can partially mitigate this drawback, they come with …

The field of glass science is quickly maturing from a purely empirical science to one built
upon rigorous fundamental physics. These advancements offer an unprecedented level of …

The behaviour of bonding constraints with temperature is analyzed from an atomic scale
approach (Molecular Dynamics, MD) combined with partial bond angle distributions (PBAD) …

Glasses are widely used as analogues for the study of silicate melts. Although they are solid
materials, their structure is inherently complex and difficult to study. However, progress has …

Long-term creep (ie, deformation under sustained load) is a significant material response
that needs to be accounted for in concrete structural design. However, the nature and origin …
