Crystal-like Order Stabilizing Glasses: Structural Origin of Ultra-stable Metallic Glasses

Zhen Lu, Anh Khoa Augustin Lu, Fan Zhang +9

Glasses are featured with a disordered amorphous structure, being opposite to crystals that are constituted by periodic lattices. In this study we report that the exceptional therm…

Dimer rattling mode induced low thermal conductivity in an excellent acoustic conductor

Ji Qi, Baojuan Dong, Zhe Zhang +19

A solid with larger sound speeds exhibits higher lattice thermal conductivity (k_{lat}). Diamond is a prominent instance where its mean sound speed is 14400 m s-1 and k_{lat} is 23…

Liquid-like thermal conduction in a crystalline solid

B. Li, Y. Kawakita, Q. Zhang +14

A solid conducts heat through both transverse and longitudinal acoustic phonons, but a liquid employs only longitudinal vibrations. Here, we report that the crystalline solid AgCrS…
