The Arrhenius crossover temperature, $T_{A}$, corresponds to a thermodynamic state wherein the atomistic dynamics of a liquid becomes heterogeneous and cooperative; and the activation barrier of diffusion dynamics becomes…
Glass-forming liquids are broadly classified as being fragile or strong, depending on the deviation from Arrhenius behavior of their relaxation times. A fragile to strong crossover is observed or inferred in liquids like water and silica,…
The fragility of a glassforming liquid characterizes how rapidly its relaxation dynamics slow down with cooling. The viscosity of strong liquids follows an Arrhenius law with a temperature-independent barrier height to rearrangements…
The fragile-to-strong crossover seems to be a general feature of metallic glass-forming liquids. Here, we study the behavior of shear viscosity, diffusion coefficient and vibrational density of states for…
When a liquid is cooled below its melting temperature it usually crystallizes. However, if the quenching rate is fast enough, it is possible that the system remains in a disordered state, progressively losing its fluidity upon further…
Characterization of the non-Arrhenius behavior of glass-forming liquids is a broad avenue for research toward the understanding of the formation mechanisms of noncrystalline materials. In this context, this paper explores the main…
Recently, a universal relation between the thermal expansion coefficient of glasses $\alpha_g$, their glass-transition temperature Tg, and the so-called fragility index m of the corresponding supercooled liquid state was found to be valid…
The rapid rise of viscosity or relaxation time upon supercooling is universal hallmark of glassy liquids. The temperature dependence of the viscosity, however, is quite non universal for glassy liquids and is characterized by the system's…
Analytical relations for the glass transition temperature, $T_g$, and the crystal melting temperature, $T_m$, are developed on the basis of nonaffine lattice dynamics. The proposed relations explain: (i) the seemingly universal factor of…
The dynamical behavior of liquids is frequently characterized by the fragility, which can be defined from the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity, {\eta}. For a strong liquid, the activation energy for {\eta} changes little with…
If quenched fast enough, a liquid is able to avoid crystallization and will remain in a metastable supercooled state down to the glass transition, with an important increase in viscosity upon further cooling. There are important differences…
An undercooled liquid is unstable. The driving force of the glass transition at Tg is a change of the undercooled-liquid Gibbs free energy. The classical Gibbs free energy change for a crystal formation is completed including an enthalpy…
Liquids realize a highly complex state of matter in which strong competing kinetic and interaction effects come to life. As such, liquids are more challenging to understand than either gases or solids generally. In weakly interacting gases,…
Variation of fragility (m) of specially homogenized GexSe100-x melts are established from complex specific heat measurements, and show m(x) has a global minimum at an extremely low value (m=14.8(0.5)) in the 21.5%<x<23% range of Ge. Outside…
The fragility, that controls the temperature-dependent viscous properties of liquids as the glass transition is approached, in various glass-forming liquids with different atomic interactions and densities is investigated by molecular…
The temperature dependence of the viscosity of glass is a major concern in the field of glass research. Strong deviations from the Arrhenius law make the interpretation of the activation energy difficult. In the present study, a reasonable…
Glass formers are in general classified as strong or fragile depending on whether their relaxation rates follow Arrhenius or super-Arrhenius temperature dependence. There are however notable exceptions such as water, which exhibit a…
The concept of "fragility", which was introduced to characterize the degree of super-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the relaxation time and transport coefficients, has since been taken as a key quantity that seems to correlate with…
In supercooled liquids, at a temperature between the glass transition temperature Tg and the melting point Tm, thermodynamic properties remain continuous, while dynamic behavior exhibits anomalies. The origin of such thermodynamics-dynamic…
The thermal expansion coefficients, structure factors, and viscosities of twenty-five equilibrium and supercooled metallic liquids have been measured using an electrostatic levitation (ESL) facility. The structure factor was measured at the…
