Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

Transparent glass ceramics (TGCs) with minimized scattering loss offer the combined
characteristics of both glasses and (transparent) ceramics. The functionalities of the …

Strongly interacting, dynamically disordered and with no small parameter, liquids took a
theoretical status between gases and solids with the historical tradition of hydrodynamic …

This review article focuses on the most recent advances in X-ray and neutron scattering
studies of water structure, from ambient temperature to the deeply supercooled and …

The broken symmetry in the atomic-scale ordering of glassy versus crystalline solids leads to
a daunting challenge to provide suitable metrics for describing the order within disorder …

The vibrational spectra of solids, both ordered and amorphous, in the low-energy regime,
control the thermal and transport properties of materials, from heat capacity to heat …

Connectedness and applied stress strongly affect elasticity in solids. In various amorphous
materials, mechanical stability can be lost either by reducing connectedness or by …

The frequency scaling exponent of low-frequency excitations in microscopically small
glasses, which do not allow for the existence of waves (phonons), has been in the focus of …

It is well known that amorphous solids display a phonon spectrum where the Debye∼ ω 2
law at low frequency melds into an anomalous excess-mode peak (the boson peak) before …

To advance materials with superior performance, the construction of gradient structures has
emerged as a promising strategy. In this study, a gradient nanocrystalline-amorphous …
