Pressure has long been recognized as a fundamental thermodynamic variable but its
application was previously limited by the available pressure vessels and probes. The …

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) provides plentiful precise knowledge of fundamental parameters
of elastic moduli, which offer a benchmark reference point for understanding and …

Structurally disordered materials pose fundamental questions,,–, including how different
disordered phases ('polyamorphs') can coexist and transform from one phase to another …

Solids in nature can be generally classified into crystalline and non-crystalline states,,,,,–,
depending on whether long-range lattice periodicity is present in the material. The …

Glass-to-glass transitions are useful for us to understand the glass nature, but it remains
difficult to tune the metallic glass into significantly different glass states. Here, we have …

Polymorphism, which describes the occurrence of different lattice structures in a crystalline
material, is a critical phenomenon in materials science and condensed matter physics …

The structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

It has long been conjectured that any metallic liquid can be vitrified into a glassy state
provided that the cooling rate is sufficiently high,,,. Experimentally, however, vitrification of …

Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

Two or more liquid states may exist even for single-component substances, which is known
as liquid polymorphism, and the transition between them is called liquid–liquid transition …
