    Non-Randomness in Network Glasses and Rigidity

    The continuous random network model is widely used as a realistic description of the structure of covalent glasses and amorphous solids. We point out that, in real glasses and amorphous materials, there are no...

    The Intermediate Phase and Self-organization in Network Glasses

    We have discussed the rigidity of random and self-organized networks. We find that there is a single transition from floppy to rigid in random networks, but an intermediate phase intervenes in the self-organiz...

    Rigidity and Self-Organization of Network Glasses and the Intermediate Phase

    In these lectures, we discuss continuous random network models for glasses and their mechanical properties. We show how model systems can help us better understand glasses via rigidity percolation. These ideas...
