Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …

Glasses have played a critical role in the development of modern civilization and will
continue to bring new solutions to global challenges from energy and the environment to …

Stretched exponential relaxation is a ubiquitous feature of homogeneous glasses. The
stretched exponential decay function can be derived from the diffusion-trap model, which …

This study investigates the effect of α-relaxation induced by physical aging due to a down-
jump in fictive temperature (T f) on the alkali ion hopping dynamics and the resulting ionic …

Materials Discovery and Optimization” that was organized at Carnegie Mellon University
(CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (September 26, 2018) by the Wilton E. Scott Institute for …

Germanium selenide glasses of compositions spanning the whole glass-formation range are
aged at room temperature for up to 20 years. A prominent enthalpy relaxation process is …

Glasses containing monovalent species can be chemically strengthened by the replacement
of smaller ions in the glass with larger external ions in the near glass surface. This type of …

The problem of glass relaxation is traditionally known as one of the most challenging
problems in condensed matter physics, with important implications for several high‐tech …

All liquids are topologically disordered materials, yet the degree of disorder can vary as a
result of internal fluctuations in structure and topology. These fluctuations depend on both …
