Processing metallic glasses by selective laser melting
Metallic glasses and their descendants, the so-called bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), can be regarded as frozen liquids with a high resistance to crystallization. The lack of a conventional structure turns them into a material exhibiting near-theoretical strength,...

The Glassy State as the Lawfully Disarranged State. Vibration Uncertainty and Chaos-Like Movements
Abstract The effect of a non-linear oscillator's vibrations (either in solids or in liquids) is the primary source of the amorphous state of the matter. The number of nonlinear oscillators (N.Os.) is considered to be very small at Tg (approximately...
