In glass physics, order parameters have long been used in the thermodynamic description of glasses, but the nature is not yet clear. The difficulty is how to find order in disordered systems. The usual treatment of glass as an exceptional…
The high cooling rate needed for preparing the metallic glass (MG) makes the nonequilibrium nature of glass formation more prominent and requires a better quenching technique than ever before. Here, we formulate the cooling process in an…

The viscosity of glass-forming liquids increases by many orders of magnitude if their temperature is lowered by a mere factor of 2-3 [1,2]. Recent studies suggest that this widespread phenomenon is accompanied by spatially heterogeneous…
