Connecting glass-forming ability of binary mixtures of soft particles to equilibrium melting temperatures [PDF]
Nature Communications 11, 3198 (2020), 2021 The glass-forming ability is an important material property for manufacturing glasses and understanding the long-standing glass transition problem. Because of the nonequilibrium nature, it is difficult to develop the theory for it. Here we report that the glass-forming ability of binary mixtures of soft particles is related to the equilibrium melting ...
