Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …

Melting is well understood in terms of the Lindemann criterion, which essentially states that
crystalline materials melt when the thermal vibrations of their atoms become so vigorous that …

Studying the thermal history and relaxation of solid amorphous drug product matrices by
calorimetry is a well-known approach, particularly in the context of correlating the matrix …

In this article, we investigate the structural relaxation of lithium silicate glass during
isothermal physical aging by monitoring the temporal evolution of its refractive index and …

From optical fiber to high-tech displays, glass relaxation plays a critical role. Due to the non-
equilibrium nature of glass, there is a constant evolution associated with relaxation that …

ABSTRACT The reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method is widely used in structural modelling
and analysis of experimental data. More recently, RMC has been applied to the calculation …

Relaxation occurs spontaneously in all glasses and is a fundamental step of important
technological processes, such as annealing, crystal nucleation, and chemical strengthening …

Relaxation and crystallization are key kinetic processes that must be understood to build a
comprehensive understanding of the supercooled liquid and glassy states. Traditional …

A knowledge of fluctuations is crucial for understanding the long-term kinetics of glasses.
However, current approaches for modeling relaxation rely on an order parameter that only …

The nonexponential relaxation behavior of glass is governed by the dimensionless
stretching exponent, β, which is typically assumed to be a constant but is more accurately …
