Linking the pressure dependence of the structure and thermal stability to α- and \b{eta}-relaxations in metallic glasses
Jie Shen, Antoine Cornet, Alberto Ronca +13
Glasses derive their functional properties from complex relaxation dynamics that remain enigmatic under extreme conditions. While the temperature dependence of these relaxation pro…
Break-down of the relationship between α-relaxation and equilibration in hydrostatically compressed metallic glasses
Antoine Cornet, Jie Shen, Alberto Ronca +20
Glasses encode the memory of any thermo-mechanical treatment applied to them. This ability is associated to the existence of a myriad of metastable amorphous states which can be pr…
X-ray photo-induced atomic motion in Phase Change Materials and conventional covalent chalcogenide glasses
Irene Festi, Antoine Cornet, Tomoki Fujita +10
X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) enables direct access to atomic-scale dynamics in disordered materials, revealing both spontaneous and X-ray-induced relaxation process…
Emergence of multiple relaxation processes during low to high density transition in Au49Cu26.9Si16.3Ag5.5Pd2.3 metallic glass
Alberto Ronca, Antoine Cornet, Jie Shen +8
The existence of multiple amorphous states, or polyamorphism, remains one of the most debated phenomena in disordered matter, particularly regarding its microscopic origin and impa…
Directly observing atomic-scale relaxations of a glass forming liquid using femtosecond X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy
Tomoki Fujita, Yanwen Sun, Haoyuan Li +25
Glass forming liquids exhibit structural relaxation behaviors, reflecting underlying atomic rearrangements on a wide range of timescales. These behaviors play a crucial role in det…
