Over the last decade's magnesium and magnesium based compounds have been
intensively investigated as potential hydrogen storage as well as thermal energy storage …

Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

High capacity hydrogen storage is a key issue for future hydrogen energy. The hydrides,
constituted of light elements such as Li, B, C, N, Na, Mg, Al, Si, etc., are excellent candidates …

Unusual features of the vibrational density of states D (ω) of glasses allow one to rationalize
their peculiar low-temperature properties. Simulational studies of D (ω) have been restricted …

We compare the atomic dynamics of the glass to that of the relevant crystal. In the spectra of
inelastic scattering, the boson peak of the glass appears higher than the transverse acoustic …

We review the recent literature on the simulation of the structure and deformation of
amorphous solids, including oxide and metallic glasses. We consider simulations at different …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy
experiments have been carried to study the structure of sodium silicate glasses (SiO2)(100 …

Using the coherent-potential approximation in heterogeneous-elasticity theory with a log-
normal distribution of elastic constants for the description of the Raman spectrum and the …

An excellent overview of the field, covering in detail a wide range of different types of
constituent materials, such as polymers, metals and metal oxides. It discusses their …

The study of the jamming transition of granular and colloidal systems, has lead to a
proliferation of theoretical and numerical results formulated in the language of the …
