Atomistic structural mechanism for the glass transition: Entropic contribution
Dong Han, Dan Wei, Jie Yang +5
A popular Adam--Gibbs scenario has suggested that the excess entropy of glass and liquid over crystal dominates the dynamical arrest at the glass transition with exclusive contribu…

Incorporating a soft ordered phase into an amorphous configuration enhances its uniform plastic deformation under shear
Guo-Jie J. Gao, Yun-Jiang Wang, Shigenobu Ogata
Amorphous materials of homogeneous structures usually suffer from nonuniform deformation under shear, which can develop into shear localization and eventually destructive shear ban…
