Glass formation in colloidal suspensions has many of the hallmarks of glass formation in
molecular materials,,,,. For hard-sphere colloids, which interact only as a result of excluded …

THE crystallization of'hard'spheres, which interact only through repulsive forces on contact,
is a purely entropic effect and provides a model system for testing theories of freezing …

As a glass-forming liquid is cooled, the dynamics of its constituent particles changes from
being liquid-like to more solid-like. The solidity of the resulting glassy material is believed to …

The nature of the transformation by which a supercooled liquid 'freezes' to a glass—the
glass transition—is a central issue in condensed matter physics,, but also affects many other …

Although liquids normally crystallize on cooling, there are members of all liquid types
(including molecular, ionic and metallic) that supercool and then solidify at their glass …

In supercooled molecular fluids or concentrated colloids and grains, the dynamics slow
down markedly with no distinct structural changes as the glass or the jamming transition is …

Glass is a microscopically disordered, solid form of matter that results when a fluid is cooled
or compressed in such a manner that it does not crystallize. Almost all types of materials are …

Most materials attain a glassy state at low temperatures under suitable methods of
preparation. This state exhibits the mechanical properties of a solid, but shows microscopic …
