Comparison with the soft-mode model 330 $aThe present book describes the fundamental features of glassy disordered systems at high temperatures (close to the liquid-to-glass transition) and for the first time in a book, the universal anomalous properties of glasses at low energies (i.e. temperatures/frequencies lower than the Debye values) are depicted. Several important theoretical models for both the glass formation and the universal anomalous properties of glasses are described and analyzed. The origin and main features of soft atomic-motion modes and their excitations, as well as their role in the anomalous properties, are conside 606 $aGlass$xEffect of high temperatures on 606 $aGlass$xThermomechanical properties 606 $aAtomic structure 615 0$aGlass$xEffect of high temperatures on. 615 0$aGlass$xThermomechanical properties. 615 0$aAtomic structure. 676 $a620.1/44 676 $a620.144 700 $aKlinger$b Michael I$01529552 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786968303321 996 $aGlassy disordered systems$93773881 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01076nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00348570 005 20231205104331.296 010 $a00-444-0710-6 100 $a20091201d1990 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aGB 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aOranges are not the only fruit$fadapted from her novel by Jeanette Winterson 210 $aLondon$aSidney ; Wellington$cPandora$d1990 215 $axviii, 88 p.$d20 cm. 620 $dWellington$3UONL000468 620 $aAU$dSydney$3UONL001938 620 $aGB$dLondon$3UONL003044 676 $a823$cLetteratura narrativa inglese$v21 700 1$aWINTERSON$bJeanette$3UONV108415$0165258 712 $aPandora Press$3UONV267116$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240220$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00348570 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI Angl VI A WIN 2 $eSI LO 50690 5 2 996 $aOranges are not the only fruit$9287851 997 $aUNIOR
