Vapor deposition can yield glasses that are more stable than those obtained by the traditional melt-quenching route. However, it remains unclear whether vapor-deposited glasses are "allowable" or "forbidden," that is, if they are equivalent to glasses formed by cooling extremely slowly a liquid or if they differ in nature from melt-quenched glasses. Here, based on reactive molecular dynamics simulation of silica glasses, we demonstrate that the allowable or forbidden nature of vapor-deposited glasses depends on the temperature of the substrate and, in turn, is found to be encoded in their medium-range order structure.

To overcome limitations of dentin bonding due to collagen degradation at a bonded interface, incorporating bioactive glass (BAG) into dentin adhesives has been proposed to enhance remineralization and improve bonding durability. This study evaluated sol-gel-derived BAGs (BAG79, BAG87, BAG91, and BAG79F) and conventional melt-quenched BAG (BAG45) incorporated into dentin adhesive to assess their remineralization and mechanical properties. The BAGs were characterized by using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy for surface morphology.

As a representative of zeolitic imidazolate framework glass, agZIF-62 has been reported to be synthesized using a melt-quenching method in which the ZIF-62 crystal is heated to a temperature above the melting point. Interestingly, we unexpectedly found that agZIF-62 can also be synthesized by simple heating at temperatures lower than the melting point, which may be assisted by the release of encapsulated solvent molecules. The structural differences between melt-quenched agZIF-62 (MQ-agZIF-62) and heat-cooled agZIF-62 (HC-agZIF-62) were investigated.

ConspectusCoordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent versatile materials with diverse structural and functional properties, making them appealing for various applications. However, their conventional forms, which are typically synthesized as powders or crystals, pose challenges due to limited processability and mechanical fragility. Recently, CP/MOF glasses have emerged as promising alternatives, offering enhanced processability while retaining some of the unique characteristics shown in the mother crystalline materials.

Polyamorphic transformations driven by high-energy mechanical ball milling (nanomilling) are recognized in a melt-quenched glassy alloy of tetra-arsenic triselenide (AsSe). We employed XRPD analysis complemented by thermophysical heat-transfer and micro-Raman spectroscopy studies. A straightforward interpretation of the medium-range structural response to milling-driven reamorphization is developed within a modified microcrystalline model by treating diffuse peak-halos in the XRPD patterns of this alloy as a superposition of the Bragg-diffraction contribution from inter-planar correlations, which are supplemented by the Ehrenfest-diffraction contribution from inter-atomic and/or inter-molecular correlations related to derivatives of thioarsenide AsSe molecules, mainly dimorphite-type AsSe ones.

By combining the porosity of crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the unique processability of the liquid state, melt-quenched MOF glasses offer exciting opportunities for molecular separation. However, progress in this field is limited by two factors. Firstly, only very few MOFs melt at elevated temperatures and transform into stable glasses upon cooling the corresponding MOF liquid.
