Abstract Machine learning (ML) is emerging as a powerful tool to predict the properties of materials, including glasses. Informing ML models with knowledge how glass composition affects short-range atomic structure has potential enhance ability composition-property extrapolate accurately outside their training sets. Here, we introduce an approach wherein statistical mechanics informs model that...

Results are presented for a ductile metal reinforced bulk metallic glass matrix composite based on glass forming compositions in the Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be system. Primary dendrite growth and solute partitioning in the molten state yields a microstructure consisting of a ductile crystalline Ti-Zr-Nb beta phase, with bcc structure, in a Zr-Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Be bulk metallic glass matrix. Under unconstrained m...

Temperature-dependent two-pulse photon echo and hole burning linewidths are reported for the system resorufin in glycerol glass from 1 to 25 K. At low temperature a factor of ~4 difference between the linewidths measured by the two techniques is observed owing to the broad fluctuation rate distribution of glass dynamics. Using cooling rates of 600 K/min and 0.2 K/min, it is shown that the linew...

A model glass is studied by classical molecular dynamics and the Vorono cells are determined at various times and temperatures. All their characteristics of physical interest are studied as a function of temperature. In particular, as temperature increases in the glass phase, the fraction of 4 and 6 edged faces (encircling disclination defect lines) increases at the cost of 5-edged faces. At th...

The use of glass beams in transparent roofs and glass fins as part of the facade is already state-of-the-art construction to achieve a transparent and lightweight appearance. Until now, mechanical fasteners made from stainless steel are used to join these structural components. Those fasteners visually interfere, require holes in the glass and cause unfavorable stress peaks in the glass. In con...

Glass ionomer cement systems have become important dental restorative and luting materials for use in preschoolers, children and teenagers. These materials form chemical bonds to tooth structure, are biocompatible, release fluoride ions for uptake by enamel and dentin, and are able to take up fluoride ions from dentifrices, mouthwashes, and topically applied solutions. Unlike early glass ionome...

background: micropatterning is becoming a powerful tool for studying cells in vitro. this method not only uses very small amount of material but also mimic the microenvironment structure present in living tissues better than flask culturing techniques. in previous studies using micropatterning of extracellular matrix proteins on glass surfaces, the rate of protein detachment from the surface wa...

In this paper, ZnO thin film is deposited on slide glass substrate using the sol-gel process. Presenting well-defined orientation of ZnO thin films Nanostructure were obtained by dip coating of zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine (MEA), de-ionized water and isopropanol alcohol. The annealed ZnO thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm....
