What can one infer about chemical bonding in glasses from their medium-range structural order? by S.R. Elliott

“…Understanding the atomic structure of amorphous solids or glasses is a perennial, and ultimately insoluble, challenge, since the randomness involved means that structural information can only ever be obtained, from either experiment or structural modelling, in a statistical form, unlike the case for crystalline materials. …”

Symmetry reduction for tunneling defects due to strong couplings to phonons by P Nalbach, M Schechter

“…Tunneling two-level systems (TLSs) are ubiquitous in amorphous solids, and form a major source of noise in systems such as nano-mechanical oscillators, single electron transistors, and superconducting qubits. …”

Structure and Glass Transition Temperature of Amorphous Dispersions of Model Pharmaceuticals with Nucleobases from Molecular Dynamics by Ctirad Červinka, Michal Fulem

“…Glass transition temperature (<i>T</i>_g) is an important material property, which predetermines the kinetic stability of amorphous solids. In the context of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), there is motivation to maximize their <i>T</i>_g by forming amorphous mixtures with other chemicals, labeled excipients. …”

Observation of a gel of quantum vortices in a superconductor at very low magnetic fields by José Benito Llorens, Lior Embon, Alexandre Correa, Jesús David González, Edwin Herrera, Isabel Guillamón, Roberto F. Luccas, Jon Azpeitia, Federico J. Mompeán, Mar García-Hernández, Carmen Munuera, Jazmín Aragón Sánchez, Yanina Fasano, Milorad V. Milošević, Hermann Suderow, Yonathan Anahory

“…Quantized vortices in type-II superconductors mostly form spatially homogeneous ordered or amorphous solids. Here we present high-resolution imaging of the vortex lattice displaying dense vortex clusters separated by sparse or entirely vortex-free regions in β-Bi_{2}Pd superconductor. …”

Pressure-induced reversal of Peierls-like distortions elicits the polyamorphic transition in GeTe and GeSe by Tomoki Fujita, Yuhan Chen, Yoshio Kono, Seiya Takahashi, Hidetaka Kasai, Davide Campi, Marco Bernasconi, Koji Ohara, Hirokatsu Yumoto, Takahisa Koyama, Hiroshi Yamazaki, Yasunori Senba, Haruhiko Ohashi, Ichiro Inoue, Yujiro Hayashi, Makina Yabashi, Eiji Nishibori, Riccardo Mazzarello, Shuai Wei

“…Abstract While polymorphism is prevalent in crystalline solids, polyamorphism draws increasing interest in various types of amorphous solids. Recent studies suggested that supercooling of liquid phase-change materials (PCMs) induces Peierls-like distortions in their local structures, underlying their liquid-liquid transitions before vitrification. …”

Worth a Closer Look: Raman Spectra of Lead-Pipe Scale by Jill Dill Pasteris, Yeunook Bae, Daniel E. Giammar, Sydney N. Dybing, Claude H. Yoder, Juntao Zhao, Yandi Hu

“…Despite its long-recognized usefulness in the unambiguous identification of crystalline and amorphous solids, distinguishing between polymorphic phases, and rapid and non-destructive analysis on the micrometer spatial scale, the Raman spectroscopy (RS) technique has been applied only occasionally in the analysis of scales in lead service lines (LSLs). …”

Signal Deconvolution and Generative Topographic Mapping Regression for Solid-State NMR of Multi-Component Materials by Shunji Yamada, Eisuke Chikayama, Jun Kikuchi

“…Using these methods, the ¹H anisotropic spectrum of poly-ε-caprolactone was separated into the signals of crystalline and amorphous solids. Forward prediction and inverse prediction of GTMR were used to compute STFT-processed NMR signals from the physical properties of polylactic acid. …”

Long-Term Physical (In)Stability of Spray-Dried Amorphous Drugs: Relationship with Glass-Forming Ability and Physicochemical Properties by Khadijah Edueng, Christel A.S. Bergström, Johan Gråsjö, Denny Mahlin

“…In this study, we included 26 structurally diverse glass-forming drugs (i) to compare the GFA class when the model drugs were produced by spray-drying with that when melt-quenching was used, (ii) to investigate the long-term physical stability of the resulting amorphous solids, and (iii) to investigate the relationship between physicochemical properties and the GFA of spray-dried solids and their long-term physical stability. …”

Reversible to irreversible transitions in periodic driven many-body systems and future directions for classical and quantum systems by C. Reichhardt, Ido Regev, K. Dahmen, S. Okuma, C. J. O. Reichhardt

“…R-IR transitions were first systematically studied for periodically sheared dilute colloids, and have now been found in a wide variety of both soft and hard matter periodically driven systems, including amorphous solids, crystals, vortices in type-II superconductors, and magnetic textures. …”

Planning Implications Related to Sterilization-Sensitive Science Investigations Associated with Mars Sample Return (MSR) by Summons, Roger

“…Sterilization has similar effects on chemical bonds in non-biological compounds, including abiotic or pre-biotic reduced carbon compounds, hydrous minerals, and hydrous amorphous solids. We considered the sterilization effects of applying dry heat under two specific temperature-time regimes and the effects of γ-irradiation. …”

Co-Amorphous Formation of Simvastatin-Ezetimibe: Enhanced Physical Stability, Bioavailability and Cholesterol-Lowering Effects in LDLr−/−Mice by Shamuha Bahetibieke, Sakib M. Moinuddin, Asiya Baiyisaiti, Xiaoang Liu, Jie Zhang, Guomin Liu, Qin Shi, Ankang Peng, Jun Tao, Chang Di, Ting Cai, Rong Qi

“…In this study, SIM and EZE were made into a co-amorphous system to improve their dissolution, oral bioavailability, storage stability, and cholesterol-lowering effects. The SIM-EZE co-amorphous solids (CO) were prepared successfully using the melt-quenched technique, and the physicochemical properties of CO were characterized accordingly, which exhibited improved physical stability and faster dissolution release profiles than their physical mixture (PM). …”
