Weakly interacting quasiparticles play a central role in the low-energy description of many
phases of quantum matter. At higher energies, however, quasiparticles cease to be well …

A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

Most of the solid materials we use in everyday life, from plastics to cosmetic gels exist under
a non-crystalline, amorphous form: they are glasses. Yet, we are still seeking a fundamental …

Supercooled liquids and glasses are important for current and develo** technologies.
Here we provide perspective on recent progress in this field. The interpretation of …

Basic characteristics of the liquid-glass transition are reviewed, emphasizing its universality
and briefly summarizing the most popular phenomenological models. Discussion is focused …

When we lower the temperature of a liquid, at some point we meet a first order phase
transition to the crystal. Yet, under certain conditions it is possible to keep the system in its …

We provide here a brief perspective on the glass transition field. It is an assessment, written
from the point of view of theory, of where the field is and where it seems to be heading. We …

This perspective article reviews arguments that glass-forming liquids are different from those
of standard liquid-state theory, which typically have a viscosity in the mPa· s range and …

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

We review the use of kinetically constrained models (KCMs) for the study of dynamics in
glassy systems. The characteristic feature of KCMs is that they have trivial, often non …
