We estimate numerically the normal modes of the free energy in a glass of hard discs. We observe that, near the glass transition or after a rapid quench deep in the glass phase, the density of states (i) is characteristic of a marginally…
Melt-quenched AsxGexSe1-2x glasses over the composition range, 0 < x < 0.26, are examined in Raman scattering, T-modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC), and 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements. The non-reversing enthalpy…
The non-reversing enthalpy near Tg, DHnr, in bulk GexAsxS1-2x glasses is found to display a global minimum (~0) in the 0.11 < x < 0.15 range, the reversibility window. Furthermore, the DHnr term is found to age for glass compositions both…
The structure of binary As_xS_{1-x} glasses is elucidated using modulated-DSC, Raman scattering, IR reflectance and molar volume experiments over a wide range (8%<x<41%) of compositions. We observe a reversibility window in the calorimetric…
In-situ X-ray scattering monitoring is carried out during temperature annealing on different densified SiO$_2$ glasses. Density fluctuations and intermediate range coherence from x-ray scattering (SAXS) and diffraction (WAXS) evidence a…
Raman scattering, IR reflectance and modulated DSC measurements are performed on specifically prepared dry (AgI)x(AgPO3)1-x glasses over a wide range of compositions 0 < x < 0.60. A reversibility window is observed in the 0.095< x < 0.378…
In a recent publication we established an analogy between the free energy of a hard sphere system and the energy of an elastic network [1]. This result enables one to study the free energy landscape of hard spheres, in particular to define…
We report the results of the X-ray diffraction study of B2O3 glass in the pressure interval up to 10 GPa in the 300-700 K temperature range, the results of in-situ volumetric measurements of the glass at pressures up to 9 GPa at room…
A Raman profiling method is used to monitor growth of GexSe100-x melts and reveals a two step process of homogenization. Resulting homogeneous glasses show the non-reversing enthalpy at Tg, {\Delta}Hnr(x), to show a square-well like…
The Brillouin elastic free energy change $DF$ between thermally annealed and quenched $(Na_2O)_x(SiO_2)_{1-x}$ glasses is found to decrease linearly at $x > 0.23$ (floppy phase), and to nearly vanish at $x < 0.18$ (stressed- rigid phase).…
Alkaline earth silicate glasses $xCaO-(1-x)SiO_2$ exhibit a well marked threshold in Raman lineshapes which can be related to the onset of network rigidity as the concentration of calcium oxide $x$ is decreased. The present results are…
Measurements of single crystalline MgB2 with torque magnetometry in fields up to 90 kOe reveal a sharp peak in the irreversible torque at about 0.85 Hc2. In the region between peak onset and maximum, pronounced history effects occur. Angle…
The replica theory of glasses predicts that in the infinite dimensional mean field limit there exist two distinct glassy phases of matter: stable glass and marginal glass. We have developed a technique to experimentally probe these phases…
The structural evolution with temperature of pure silica (SiO2), sodium-silicate (5Na2O-95SiO2, 10Na2O-90SiO2 and 25Na2O-75SiO2) and albite (15Na2O-15Al2O3-75SiO2) glasses previously densified from hot compression is monitored with a…
Raman scattering from binary GexSe1-x glasses under hydrostatic pressure shows onset of a steady increase in the frequency of modes of corner-sharing GeSe4 tetrahedral units when the external pressure P exceeds a threshold value Pc. The…
AC conductivity spectra of xAgI-(1-x)AgPO$_3$ fast ion conducting glasses spanning the flexible, intermediate (isostatically rigid) and stressed rigid phases are analyzed. The rescaled frequency dependent spectra are mapped into…
Raman scattering from binary GexSe1-x glasses under hydrostatic pressure shows onset of a steady increase in the frequency of modes of corner-sharing GeSe4 tetrahedral units when the external pressure P exceeds a threshold value Pc. The…
We theoretically investigate the temperature dependence of the reversible structural relaxation time and diffusion constant of metallic glasses under pressure. The compression not only changes the glassy dynamics, but also generates a…
The surface structural phases of Ca(2-x)Sr(x)RuO(4) are investigated using quantitative Low Energy Electron Diffraction. The broken symmetry at the surface enhances the structural instability against the RuO6 rotational distortion while…
GexPxS1-2x glasses in the compositional range 0.05 < x < 0.19 have been synthesized and examined in temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) and Raman scattering experiments. Trends in the non-reversing enthalpy…
