We review recent results from computer simulation studies of polymer glasses, from the
chain dynamics around the glass transition temperature Tg to the mechanical behaviour …

This tutorial review summarizes the most important results and developments in the field of
polymer science by means of single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy (SMFS) at ambient …

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

A photobleaching technique has been used to measure the reorientation of dilute
fluorescent probes in free-standing polymer films from 7 nm to 20 μm thick. Similar to our …

The optical signals of single molecules provide information about structure and dynamics of
their nanoscale environment, free from space and time averaging. These new data are …

The advent of optical super-resolution microscopy (OSRM) over two decades ago has
transformed light-mediated interrogation of systems down to the nanoscale. This innovative …

Bulk approaches to studying heterogeneous systems obscure important details, as they
report average behavior rather than the distribution of behaviors in such environments …

Single‐molecule fluorescence (smFL) imaging techniques have evolved greatly over the
past two decades to encompass the ability to monitor chemical reactions, providing unique …

We investigate the temporal dynamics of terrylene diimide molecule with four phenoxy rings
(TDI) in a poly (styrene)(PS) matrix in the supercooled regime by use of single molecule …

We analyze data from confocal microscopy experiments of a colloidal suspension to validate
predictions of rapid sporadic events responsible for structural relaxation in a glassy sample …
