Glass phase and other multiple liquid-to-liquid transitions resulting from two liquid phase competition
Robert F. Tournier
Melt supercooling leads to glass formation. Liquid-to-liquid phase transitions are observed depending on thermal paths. Viscosity, density and surface tension thermal dependences m…

Lindenmann Rule Applied to the Melting of Crystals and Ultrastable Glasses
Robert F. Tournier
The ratio of the mean square amplitude root of thermal vibrations and the interatomic distance is a universal constant dls at the melting temperature Tm. The classical Gibbs free e…

Crystallization of Supercooled Liquid Elements Induced by Superclusters Containing Magic Atom Numbers
Robert Felix Tournier
A few experiments have already detected the presence of icosahedral superclusters in undercooled liquids, confirming a possible homogeneous nucleation of such entities as suggested…
