Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

Owing to their unique mechanical and functional properties, both amorphous and
nanocrystalline alloys have attracted extensive research interest over the past decades …

Volume 15 of the Handbook on the Properties of Magnetic Materials, as the preceding
volumes, has a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to be of assistance to those who …

Ultrastable glasses (mostly prepared from the vapor phase under optimized deposition
conditions) represent a unique class of materials with low enthalpies and high kinetic …

Focusing on metallic glasses as model systems, we review the features and mechanisms of
the β-relaxations, which are intrinsic and universal to supercooled liquids and glasses, and …

We review how phase-field models contributed to the understanding of various aspects of
crystal nucleation, including homogeneous and heterogeneous processes, and their role in …

Advances in the orientation-field-based phase-field (PF) models made in the past are
reviewed. The models applied incorporate homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation of …

Science of Heat and Thermophysical Studies provides a non-traditional bridging of
historical, philosophical, societal and scientific aspects of heat with a comprehensive …

Since their introduction over two decades ago, nanostructured soft magnetic alloys have
demonstrated excellent magnetic softness and improved performance over a wide range of …

The classical theory of solid‐state transformation based on nucleation and growth
processes, developed by Kolmogorov, Johnson and Mehl, and Avrami (KJMA theory), is …
