Probing the hidden order in glasses

摘要: 通过探究玻璃态物质中原子结构的径向空间关联形式及对应的晶体相晶格结构,发现它们之间存在密切联系,这一特点通过数值模拟和实验所获得的玻璃材料都得到了很好的验证.相关结果表明,结构同源性同样存在于玻璃固体与其对应晶体相之间,进而提出了从同源性视角出发探讨非晶物理与材料学的问题,可为更深入地理解玻璃固体中的原子结构及其结构物性关系提供新的思路.Abstract: This work aims to explain how materials like glass are structured, one of the most important puzzles in the field of complex physical systems. The atomic packing formula in glass materials is found to correlate with lattice structure and symmetry of their crystalline counterparts, this holds well both in numerical and realistic experimental glass systems. This indicates that structure homology also exists between a glassy solid and its parent crystal, leading us to the proposal that, in the study of glass physics and material science, thinking in terms of homology may open new doors to understanding the nature of atomic structures and structure-property relationships in glass materials.
