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…
We extend the replica liquid theory in order to describe the multiple glass transitions of binary mixtures with large size disparities, by taking into account the two-step replica symmetry breaking (2RSB). We determine the glass phase…
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…
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of Nd doped phosphate glasses have been studied before and after gamma irradiation in order to find the behavior of chemical bonds, which decide the structural…
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…
Near-bandgap Raman scattering was used to induce and study photostructural changes in AsxS100-x bulk glasses revealing a new photoinduced polymerization effect. Raman spectra were recorded also in off-resonant conditions allowing for a…
Methanol-water liquid mixtures have been investigated by high-energy synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction at low temperatures. We are thus able to report the first complete sets of both X-ray and neutron weighted total scattering…
Glass-to-glass and liquid-to-liquid phase transitions were observed many years ago in bulk and confined water with or without applied pressure. It is shown that they result from the competition of two-liquid phases separated by an enthalpy…
Raman spectra of GexAsySe100-x-y (0 < x < 30; 10 < y < 40) glasses have been studied at room temperature. Three sets of samples were investigated; it was revealed that they are qualitatively differing by shape of their spectra. The…
We present the first experimental characterization in molecular fragile glassformers of a 'prepeak that appears significantly below the main peak of the static structure factor. The temperature and density dependences of this prepeak are…
The total scattering structure factors of pure liquid n-pentanol, pentanal, and 5 of their mixtures, as determined by high energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments, are presented. For the interpretation of measured data, molecular…
Raman spectroscopy is a useful experimental tool to investigate local deformation and structural changes in SiO$_2$-based glasses. Using a semi-classical modelling of Raman spectra in large samples of silica glasses, we show in this paper…
The fast evaporative cooling of micrometer-sized water droplets in vacuum offers the appealing possibility to investigate supercooled water - below the melting point but still a liquid - at temperatures far beyond the state-of-the-art.…
Raman scattering on bulk AsxS1-x glasses showes that vibrational modes of As4S4 monomer first appear near x=0.38, and their concentration increases precipitously with increasing x, suggesting that the stoichiometric glass (x=0.40) is…
Thermal stability of hydrogenated amorphous Si/Ge multilayers has been investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Small-Angle X-Ray Diffraction (SAXRD) techniques. Amorphous H-Si/Ge…
Thin layers of water on biomolecular and other nanostructured surfaces can be supercooled to temperatures not accessible with bulk water. Chen et al. [PNAS 103, 9012 (2006)] suggested that anomalies near 220 K observed by quasi-elastic…
We present an approach to approximating static properties of glasses without experimental inputs rooted in the first-principles random structure sampling. In our approach, the glassy system is represented by a collection (composite) of…
We consider the stationary state of a fluid comprised of inelastic hard spheres or disks under the influence of a random, momentum-conserving external force. Starting from the microscopic description of the dynamics, we derive a nonlinear…
Using fast confocal microscopy we image the three-dimensional dynamics of particles in a yielded hard-sphere colloidal glass under steady shear. The structural relaxation, observed in regions with uniform shear, is nearly isotropic but is…
The liquid crystalline compound, forming the glass of the smectic C$_A$* phase, is investigated by the X-ray diffraction in the 18-298 K range. The characteristic distances within the smectic C$_A$* phase are determined. The electron…
