Mechanical properties of glass forming systems.

We address the interesting temperature range of a glass forming system where the mechanical properties are intermediate between those of a liquid and a solid. We employ an efficient Monte Carlo method to calculate the elastic moduli, and show that in this range of temperatures the moduli are finite for short times and vanish for long times, where short and long depend on the temperature. By inv...

Dielectric–electrode interactions in glass and silicon-compatible thin-film (Ba,Sr)TiO3 capacitors

This paper investigates the role of electrode– dielectric interactions, and barrier materials on leakage current, breakdown voltage, yield and reliability of thinfilm (Ba,Sr)TiO3 capacitors on silicon and glass substrates. The first part of the paper investigates the electrode–dielectric interactions with sputtered Cu and Ni electrodes to identify the mechanisms that lead to high leakage curren...

Divergent dynamics and the Kauzmann temperature in glass forming systems

In the last decade the challenging analysis of previtreous behavior of relaxation time (τ(T)) in ultraviscous low molecular weight liquids led to the conceptual shift of the glass transition physics toward theories not predicting a "finite-temperature" divergence. This "breakthrough" experimental finding was strengthened by the discovery that "dynamic" (i.e. from τ(T) fitting) and "thermodynami...

Multiple glass singularities and isodynamics in a core-softened model for glass-forming systems.

We investigate the slow dynamics of a simple glass former whose interaction potential is the sum of a hard core and a square shoulder repulsion. According to mode coupling theory, the competition between the two repulsive length scales gives rise to a complex dynamic scenario: besides the fluid-glass line, the theory predicts a glass-glass line in the temperature-packing fraction plane with two...
