Ultrastable glasses (mostly prepared from the vapor phase under optimized deposition
conditions) represent a unique class of materials with low enthalpies and high kinetic …

Glasses are generally prepared by cooling from the liquid phase, and their properties
depend on their thermal history. Recent experiments indicate that glasses prepared by …

Molecular glasses prepared by vapor deposition have been revealed in recent years to have
properties which the glasses prepared by ordinary liquid-quenching methods do not have …

The conventional understanding of the glass transition is that the transition from glass to
liquid appears as a dynamic process in which atoms or molecules relax cooperatively into …

Vapor deposited thin films (∼ 100 nm thickness) of toluene and ethylbenzene grown by
physical vapor deposition show enhanced stability with respect to samples slowly cooled …

A growing body of experimental work indicates that physical vapor deposition provides an
effective route for preparation of stable glasses, whose properties correspond in some cases …

Glasses obtained from vapor deposition on a cold substrate have superior thermodynamic
and kinetic stability with respect to ordinary glasses. Here we perform molecular dynamics …

Recently, novel organic glassy materials that exhibit remarkable stability have been
prepared by vapor deposition. The thermophysical properties of these new “stable” glasses …

The recent experimental fabrication of ultrastable glass films, via vapor deposition [Swallen
et al., Science 315, 353 (2007)] and the observation of frontlike response to the annealing of …

We have measured self-diffusion coefficients for deeply supercooled tris-naphthylbenzene
using secondary ion mass spectrometry. Isotopically labeled multilayer films were prepared …
