The formulation of the mean-field infinite-dimensional solution of hard sphere glasses is a significant milestone for theoretical physics. How relevant this description m[...]

Ultrastable vapor-deposited glasses display uncommon material properties. Most remarkably upon heating they are believed to melt via a liquid front that originates at the[...]

Liquids equilibrated below an onset condition share similar inherent states while those above that onset have inherent states that markedly differ. Although this type of [...]

Although much is known about the metastable liquid branch of hard spheres--from low dimension d up to the infinite dimensional limit--its crystal counterpart remains larg[...]

Based on results from the physics and mathematics literature which suggest a series of clearly defined

conjectures we formulate three simple scenarios for the fat[...]

Using transfer matrices up to next-nearest-neighbour (NNN) interactions we examine the structural correlations of quasi-one-dimensional systems of hard disks confined by [...]

We report on a nonequilibrium phase of matter the minimally disordered crystal phase which we find exists between the maximally amorphous glasses and the ideal crystal. E[...]

Structural glasses form through various out-of-equilibrium processes including temperature quenches rapid compression (crunches) and shear. Although each of these process[...]

Ising models with frustrated next-nearest-neighbor interactions present a rich array of modulated phases. These phases however assemble and relax slowly which hinders the[...]

Glass films created by vapor-depositing molecules onto a substrate can exhibit properties similar to those of ordinary glasses aged for thousands of years. It is believed[...]
