Funded Activity Summary

Extracting the hidden structure of glass from particle vibrations. Predicting the rigid behaviour of glass from its disordered, amorphous atomic structure remains a challenge in materials science. This project aims to define an innovative measure of structure based on how constrained each particle is, which can be quantified by measuring the particles’ vibrations. Using this new measure of structure, this project expects to link the microscopic structure of glass to its macroscopic properties via computer simulations. Expected outcomes of this project include a new methodology for characterising amorphous materials and an improved understanding of the nature of glass. This should provide significant benefits, such as an increased ability to rationally design amorphous materials with desired properties.
