The random first-order transition theory of the structural glass transition is reviewed in a
pedagogical fashion. The rigidity that emerges in crystals and glassy liquids is of the same …

Antimony sesquisulfide Sb2S3 has become an outstanding advanced functional material in
a variety of rapidly growing application fields: smart integrated photonics from the visible to …

Using an analytical theory, experimental terahertz time-domain spectroscopy data, and
numerical evidence, we demonstrate that the frequency dependence of the absorption …

Twisted graphene-layered materials with nonzero interlayer twist angles (θ) have recently
become appealing, as they exhibit a range of attractive physical properties, which include a …

A small difference in energy between homopolar and heteropolar bonds and the glass-
forming ability of pure chalcogens leads to unexpected trends in densification mechanisms …

Sodium-conducting sulfide glasses are promising materials for the next generation of solid-
state batteries. Deep insight into the glass structure is required to ensure a functional design …

The spatial distribution of Nd 3+ ions and GaS 4 tetrahedral units in Nd-doped Ge-As-Ga-S
glasses has been studied by laser spectroscopy and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) …

Rigidity transitions that separate elastic phases in glasses are studied in the case where the
local structure is not fully determined from the macroscopic concentration. It is shown that the …

The local structures of amorphous As 40 Se 60, As 40 Se 30 S 30, As 33.3 Se 33.3 S 33.4
chalcogenide glass semiconductors have been studied by neutron diffraction and Raman …

Abstract Dangling bonds in Se, As 2 S 3, and GeS 2 glasses and wrong bonds in the
compounds have been comparatively studied using an ab initio molecular-orbital software …
