Supercooled liquids and the glass transition

PG Debenedetti, FH Stillinger - Nature, 2001 - nature.com
Glasses are disordered materials that lack the periodicity of crystals but behave
mechanically like solids. The most common way of making a glass is by cooling a viscous …

Theoretical perspective on the glass transition and amorphous materials

L Berthier, G Biroli - Reviews of modern physics, 2011 - APS
