Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

Due to their measurable crystallization kinetics, oxide glass-formers are adequate systems
for evaluating theoretical approaches to describe and predict crystal nucleation dynamics …

There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and
pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase …

We provide a perspective on polymer glass formation, with an emphasis on models in which
the fluid entropy and collective particle motion dominate the theoretical description and data …

The Kauzmann paradox and associated Kauzmann temperature are two of the most widely
debated topics in glass science over the past eighty years. Both conceptualized by Walter …

The physical understanding of glass transition remains a major challenge of physics and
materials science. Among various glass-forming liquids, a colloidal liquid interacting with …

In recent years, there is a growing interest in improving the physicochemical stability of
amorphous pharmaceutical solids due to their very promising applications to manufacture …

Despite the fundamental nature and practical importance of melting, there is still no
generally accepted theory of this ubiquitous phenomenon. Even the earliest simulations of …

We numerically investigate the dynamical properties of the one-component Gaussian core
model in supercooled states. We find that nucleation is increasingly suppressed with …

We use a newly-developed method to identify local structural motifs in a popular model
glassformer, the Kob–Andersen binary Lennard-Jones mixture. By measuring the lifetimes of …
