Although the atomic structure of amorphous alloys, which lacks long-range translational
symmetry, may appear homogeneous at the macroscopic scale, their local dynamic and/or …

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

A great success of solid state physics comes from the characterization of crystal structures in
the reciprocal (wave vector) space. The power of structural characterization in Fourier space …

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 …

Classical crystallography can determine structures as complicated as multi-component
ribosomal assemblies with atomic resolution, but is inadequate for disordered systems …

Icosahedral order has been suggested as the prevalent atomic motif of supercooled liquids
and metallic glasses for more than half a century, because the icosahedron is highly close …

Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles
and represent the plasma state of soft matter. Complex plasmas have several remarkable …

Water is a complex liquid that displays a surprising array of unusual properties, the most
famous being the density maximum at about 4° C. The origin of these anomalies is still a …

With sufficient high cooling rates, a variety of liquids, including metallic melts, will cross a
glass transition temperature and solidify into glass accompanying a marked increase of the …

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 …
