Mechanical, optical, magnetic and electronic properties of amorphous materials hold great
promise towards current and emergent technologies. We distinguish at least four categories …

As an emerging class of flowing liquid materials, porous liquids possess the properties of
both porous solids and the fluidity of liquids. Even if the concept of porous liquids proposed …

This is the background against which the present Volume has come into being. It has, for
reasons expounded above, much greater breadth than our two earlier Volumes. We feel as …

We examine the local geometry of a simulated glass-forming polymer melt. Using the
Voronoi construction, we find that the distributions of Voronoi volume P (v V) and asphericity …

The aim of this article is to put forward the novel concept of porous liquids, or, more
precisely, liquids with permanent microporosity. In contrast to the small, transient cavities …

We study the diffusive dynamics of a hard-sphere fluid confined between parallel smooth
hard walls. The position-dependent diffusion coefficient normal to the walls is larger in …

Glassy solidification is characterized by two essential phenomena: localization of the
solidifying material's constituent particles and a precipitous increase in its structural …

As a glass-forming liquid is cooled, the dynamics of its constituent particles changes from
being liquid-like to more solid-like. The solidity of the resulting glassy material is believed to …

Numerous experimental and computational studies have established that most liquids seem
to exhibit a remarkable, yet poorly understood, property termed “thermodynamic scaling”, in …

The emergence of the solid state in glass-forming materials upon cooling is accompanied by
changes in both thermodynamic and viscoelastic properties and by a precipitous drop in …
