The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

Basic characteristics of the liquid-glass transition are reviewed, emphasizing its universality
and briefly summarizing the most popular phenomenological models. Discussion is focused …

The low-temperature dynamics of ultraviscous liquids hold the key to understanding the
nature of glass transition and relaxation phenomena, including the potential existence of an …

This overview of energy landscapes will focus on some rigorous properties of potential
energy surfaces (PES's), especially the symmetry properties of steepest-descent paths, and …

In a review of the present title, the first requirement is to ensure that the title words are
understood. While the term “glass” is broadly familiar, and the origin of the “glass transition” …

The phenomenology of the glass transition and the associated behavior in the near liquid
and glassy states are detailed, including the cooling rate dependence of the glass transition …

An intriguing problem in condensed matter physics is understanding the glass transition, in
particular the dynamics in the equilibrium liquid close to vitrification. Recent advances have …

We review a theoretical perspective of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids and the glass
transition, a perspective developed during this past decade based on the structure of …

Ultrastable glasses (mostly prepared from the vapor phase under optimized deposition
conditions) represent a unique class of materials with low enthalpies and high kinetic …

In this review a systematic analysis of the potential energy landscape (PEL) of glass-forming
systems is presented. Starting from the thermodynamics, the route towards the dynamics is …
