Flexibility of structure as a criterion of glass formation and stability

Stoch Leszek

Abstract

The flexibility of structure and internal factors which prevent the ordering of structure randomness, as the indispensable condition of existence of the kinetically stable glasses, have been indicated. Based on the analysis of atomic interactions in solid structures, criteria of the formation of glass of different chemistry, including metallic and molecular glasses, are formulated.
