The physics of the glass transition and amorphous materials continues to attract the attention
of a wide research community after decades of effort. Supercooled liquids and glasses have …

A great success of solid state physics comes from the characterization of crystal structures in
the reciprocal (wave vector) space. The power of structural characterization in Fourier space …

Successful computer studies of glass-forming materials need to overcome both the natural
tendency to structural ordering and the dramatic increase of relaxation times at low …

The configurational entropy is one of the most important thermodynamic quantities
characterizing supercooled liquids approaching the glass transition. Despite decades of …

Unlike a crystal, a glassy solid state displays slow internal relaxation processes besides
vibrational modes even when structural (α) relaxation is frozen. The precise nature of such …

Liquids relax extremely slowly on approaching the glass state. One explanation is that an
entropy crisis, because of the rarefaction of available states, makes it increasingly arduous …

The change of physical properties during aging and the associated microscopic dynamics of
the Au 49 Cu 26.9 Si 16.3 Ag 5.5 Pd 2.3 bulk metallic glass are investigated using a broad …

The static and dynamic properties of ring polymers in concentrated solutions remains one of
the last deep unsolved questions in polymer physics. At the same time, the nature of the …

Liquids cooled towards the glass transition temperature transform into amorphous solids that
have a wide range of applications. While the nature of this transformation is understood …

Reducing the sample size can profoundly impact properties of bulk metallic glasses. Here,
we systematically reduce the length scale of Au and Pt-based metallic glasses and study …
