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 …

Glasses are disordered materials that lack the periodicity of crystals but behave
mechanically like solids. The most common way of making a glass is by cooling a viscous …

When we lower the temperature of a liquid, at some point we meet a first order phase
transition to the crystal. Yet, under certain conditions it is possible to keep the system in its …

Dense active systems are widespread in nature, examples range from bacterial colonies to
biological tissues. Dense clusters of active particles can be obtained by increasing the …

In these notes the main theoretical concepts and techniques in the field of mean-field spin
glasses are reviewed in a compact and pedagogical way, for the benefit of the graduate and …

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 …

We review the recent literature on the simulation of the structure and deformation of
amorphous solids, including oxide and metallic glasses. We consider simulations at different …

Orbital optimization is crucial when using a non-Aufbau Slater determinant that involves
promotion of an electron from a (nominally) occupied molecular orbital to an unoccupied …

Glasses, are amorphous solids, in the sense that they display elastic behaviour. In
crystalline solids, elasticity is associated with phonons, which are quantized vibrational …

Mode-coupling theory is an approach to the study of complex behavior in the supercooled
liquids which developed from the idea of a nonlinear feedback mechanism. From the …
