Hidden scale invariance in condensed matter

JC Dyre - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2014‏ - ACS Publications
Recent developments show that many liquids and solids have an approximate “hidden”
scale invariance that implies the existence of lines in the thermodynamic phase diagram, so …

Relationship among glass-forming ability, fragility, and short-range bond ordering of liquids

H Tanaka - Journal of non-crystalline solids, 2005‏ - Elsevier
Glass-forming ability characterizes how easily we can avoid crystallization and thus make a
glassy state of material from its liquid state upon cooling. Its quantitative measure is given by …
