Competition Between Entropy and Energy in Network Glass: The Hidden Connection Between Intermediate Phase and Liquid-Liquid Transition

In network glass including chalcogenides, the network topology of microscopic structures can be tuned by changing the chemical compositions. As the composition is varied, an intermediate phase (IP) singularly different from the adjacent floppy or rigid phases on sides has been revealed in the vicini...
