Key to resolving the scientific challenge of the glass transition is to understand the origin of
the massive increase in viscosity of liquids cooled below their melting temperature (avoiding …

Recent years witnessed the development of powerful generative models based on flows,
diffusion, or autoregressive neural networks, achieving remarkable success in generating …

We provide here a brief perspective on the glass transition field. It is an assessment, written
from the point of view of theory, of where the field is and where it seems to be heading. We …

The glass transition is the most enduring grand-challenge problem in contemporary
condensed matter physics. Here, we review the contribution of colloid experiments to our …

The nature of alterations to dynamics and vitrification in the nanoscale vicinity of interfaces—
commonly referred to as “nanoconfinement” effects on the glass transition—has been an …

We use computer simulations to study the thermodynamic properties of a glass-former in
which a fraction c of the particles has been permanently frozen. By thermodynamic …

We use computer simulations to investigate the static properties of a simple glass-forming
fluid in which the positions of a finite fraction of the particles have been frozen. By probing …

We start with a few concise definitions of the most important concepts discussed in this entry.
Glass transition For molecular liquids, the glass transition denotes a crossover from a …

We investigate the properties of the low-frequency spectrum in the density of states D (ω) of
a 3D model glass former. To magnify the non-Debye sector of the spectrum, we introduce a …

In the three-dimensional Heisenberg spin glass in a random field, we study the properties of
the inherent structures that are obtained by an instantaneous cooling from infinite …
