The Classical Nucleation Theory allegedly fails to describe the temperature dependence of the homogeneous crystal nucleation rates below the temperature of maximum nucleation, $T_{\mathrm{max}}$. Possible explanations for this suspected…
The two-step heat treatment method is used to measure the steady state crystal nucleation rate and induction time as a function of temperature in BaO.2SiO2 and 5BaO.8SiO2 glasses. For both glasses, the temperature for maximum nucleation…
Using molecular simulations, we shed light on the mechanism underlying crystal nucleation in metal alloys and unravel the interplay between crystal nucleation and glass transition, as the conditions of crystallization lie close to this…
In simulations of supercooled, high-density liquid silica we study a range of temperature T in which we find both crystal nucleation, as well as the characteristic dynamics of a glass forming liquid, including a breakdown of the…
Temperature chaos (TC) in spin glasses has been claimed to exist no matter how small the temperature change, $\Delta T$. However, experimental studies have exhibited a finite value of $\Delta T$ for a transition to TC. This paper explores…
We test classical nucleation theory (CNT) in the case of simulations of deeply supercooled, high density liquid silica, as modelled by the BKS potential. We find that at density $\rho=4.38$~g/cm$^3$, spontaneous nucleation of crystalline…
In a recent manuscript, the discovery of a new phenomenon in glasses has been reported: {\it glass paramagnetism}, that is the intrinsic magnetisation developed by a substance that has failed to crystallise in a temperature quench when…
We studied a set of float glass samples prepared with different fictive temperature by previous annealing around the glass transition temperature. We compared the results to previous measurements on a series of amorphous silica samples,…
Usually, supercooled liquids and glasses are thermodynamically unstable against crystallization. Classical nucleation theory (CNT) has been used to describe the crystallization dynamics of supercooled liquids. However, recent studies on…
Accurate estimate of nucleation rate is crucial for the study of ice nucleation and ice-promoting/anti-freeze strategies. Within the framework of Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT), the estimate of ice nucleation rate is very sensitive to…
Metallic glasses exhibit fast mechanical relaxations at temperatures well below the glass transition, one of which shows little variation with temperature known as nearly constant loss (NCL). Despite the important implications of this…
Due to high viscosity, glassy systems evolve slowly to the ordered state. Results of molecular dynamics simulation reveal that the structural ordering in glasses becomes observable over "experimental" (finite) time-scale for the range of…
We carry out molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to characterize nucleation in liquid clusters of 600 Lennard-Jones particles over a broad range of temperatures. We use the formalism of mean first-passage times to…
The isothermal nucleation kinetics in Al-Sm metallic glasses with low Sm concentrations (xSm) was studied using molecular dynamics simulations in order to calculate time-temperature-transformation curves. The average delay time of Al…
Experimental measurements of the specific heat in glass-forming systems reveal anomalies in the temperature dependence of the specific heat, including the so called "specific heat peak" in the vicinity of the glass transition. The aim of…
We determined bulk crystal nucleation rates in aqueous suspensions of charged spheres at low metastability. Experiments were performed in dependence on electrolyte concen-tration and for two different particle number densities. The…
Primary crystallization in high Al-content metallic glasses is driven by nanometer-diameter regions with internal structure similar to fcc Al. Comparison of fluctuation electron microscopy (FEM) data to FEM simulations of fcc Al clusters…
The process of crystal nucleation can be accelerated or retarded by ultrasonic vibration, which is particularly attractive for the addictive manufacture and thermoplastic forming of metallic glasses, however, the effect and mechanism of…
Glass-to-glass and liquid-to-liquid phase transitions are observed in bulk and confined water, with or without applied pressure. They result from the competition of two liquid phases separated by an enthalpy difference depending on…
In laboratory experiments, spherical 1 mm-wide glass and basalt particles are heated, and the hot particles collide at about 1m/s with a flat glass target that is at room temperature. When the particles are heated below 900 K, the…
