Dynamic Light Scattering Study of Structural Effects on the Dynamics of Potassium Borate Glass
Liquids cooled at a sufficiently fast rate can become supercooled and later solidify in a process known as vitrification, or the glass transition. It is commonly believed that intermolecular bonds are responsible for the vitrification of glass-forming liquids. In Particular, oxide glass-formers …

Dynamic Light Scattering for the Characterization of Polydisperse Fractal Systems by the Example of Pyrogenic Silica
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a method to size submicron particles by measuring their thermal motion (diffusion) in suspensions and emulsions. However, the validity of the Stokes-Einstein equation that relates the diffusion coefficient and the particle size is limited to spherical particles and …
