Glass : selected properties and crystallization

This workdemonstrates how general features of glasses and glass transition are exemplified in different classes of glass-forming systems, such as silicate glasses, metallic glasses, and polymers. In addition, the wide field of phase formation processes and their effect on glasses and their propertie...
