Type-I clathrate compounds have attracted a great deal of interest in connection with the
search for efficient thermoelectric materials. These compounds constitute networked cages …

When monochromatic radiation νo, is incident on a system (gas, solid, liquid, glass, whether
colored or transparent) most of the radiation is transmitted through the system without …

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

The physical properties of a topologically disordered amorphous material (glass), such as
heat capacity and thermal conductivity, are markedly different from those of its ordered …

Four-wave mixing (FWM) processes, based on third-order nonlinear light–matter
interactions, can combine ultrafast time resolution with energy and wavevector selectivity …

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 …

Configurational entropy has been linked with the structure of Na2O–CaO–SiO2 melts, based
on combined viscosimetry and Raman spectroscopic investigations. From viscosity …

The structure of glasses and the melts from which they are formed is intrinsically disordered,
making their structural characterization difficult. Whilst the structure of solid minerals can be …

Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations we investigate the properties of the
nonaffine displacement field induced by macroscopic uniaxial deformation of amorphous …

This paper describes the progress that has been made in the past decade in the
investigation of the peculiar dynamic properties of vitreous silica (v-SiO 2) and related …
