Theoretical and time-domain experimental investigations of the vibrational acoustic
response of nano-objects are described focusing on metallic ones. Acoustic vibrations are …

We review the status of research on thermal/phonon transport in disordered materials. The
term disordered materials is used here to encompass both structural and compositional …

This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of amorphous solids and related
disordered condensed matter systems. Important concepts from statistical mechanics such …

Very different materials are named “Glass,” with Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (ν)
extending from 5 to 180 GPa and from 0.1 to 0.4, respectively, in the case of bulk inorganic …

We take familiar inorganic oxide glasses and non-oxide glasses and the liquids from which
they derive to review the current understanding of their atomic structure, ranging from the …

Organic thin film transistors (TFTs) are of interest for a variety of large-area electronic
applications, such as displays,,, sensors, and electronic barcodes,,. One of the key problems …

Because of their importance in both the geosciences and the glass-making industry, alkali
aluminosilicate melts have been the focal point of many past studies, but despite progress …

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 …

The commonly used Lorentzian form of the Raman response function for studying
propagation of ultrashort pulses in silica fibers does not properly account for the shoulder in …

Glass is considered a vitreous supercooled liquid that is in a thermodynamically metastable
state between the molten liquid state and the crystalline state. Different glass structures are …
