  2. Glass transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_transition

    In this scenario, the transition temperature is known as the calorimetric ideal glass transition temperature T 0c. In this view, the glass transition is not merely a kinetic effect, i.e. merely the result of fast cooling of a melt, but there is an underlying thermodynamic basis for glass formation. The glass transition temperature:

  3. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    Temperature vs time plots, showing the Mpemba Effect. The Mpemba effect is the observation that a liquid (typically water) that is initially hot can freeze faster than the same liquid which begins cold, under otherwise similar conditions. There is disagreement about its theoretical basis and the parameters required to produce the effect.

  4. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    This happens if the cooling rate is faster than a critical cooling rate, and is attributed to the molecular motions becoming so slow that the molecules cannot rearrange into the crystal positions. [21] This slowing down happens below a glass-formation temperature T g, which may depend on the applied pressure.

    In the past couple of decades, we’ve had satellites trained on Earth’s ice sheets, documenting climate change-induced losses. Just like glaciers have carved the land, leaving behind features ...

  6. Fragility (glass physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragility_(glass_physics)

    Fragility characterizes how rapidly the viscosity of a glass forming liquid approaches a very large value approximately 10 12 Pa s during cooling. At this viscosity, the liquid is "frozen" into a solid and the corresponding temperature is known as the glass transition temperature T g. Materials with a higher fragility have a more rapid increase ...

  7. Liquidus and solidus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidus_and_solidus

    Liquidus temperature curve in the binary glass system SiO 2-Li 2 O. For impure substances, e.g. alloys, honey, soft drink, ice cream, etc. the melting point broadens into a melting interval. If the temperature is within the melting interval, one may see "slurries" at equilibrium, i.e. the slurry will neither fully solidify nor melt.

  8. Thermal stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_stress

    This is a combination of a large temperature gradient due to low thermal conductivity, in addition to rapid change in temperature on brittle materials. The change in temperature causes stresses on the surface that are in tension, which encourages crack formation and propagation. Ceramics materials are usually susceptible to thermal shock. [2]

  9. Temperature sensitive glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_Sensitive_Glass

    Temp sensitive glass tile. Temperature sensitive glass is a glass material that reacts to ambient temperatures radiated off of other surfaces, e.g. hands or water. The liquid crystals beneath the glass surface impact color upon temperature. [1] There are three main phases of these crystals: nematic, smectic, and chiral.
