The role of local structure in dynamical arrest
CP Royall, SR Williams - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

In search of colloidal hard spheres
We recently reviewed the experimental determination of the volume fraction, ϕ, of hard-
sphere colloids, and concluded that the absolute value of ϕ was unlikely to be known to …
