Coffee-Rings and Glasses: Colloids Out of Equilibrium
… of particles during evaporation and the glass transition are explored. In the first set of experiments, we found that particle shape has a profound effect on particle deposition. We evaporated drops of colloidal suspensions containing micron-sized particles that range in shape from …

Evolution of the structure and properties of thermomechanically-processed metallic glasses
Metallic glasses (MGs) can assume a remarkably wide range of structures and properties depending on their thermal and processing histories. Increasing the MGs’ enthalpies through thermomechanical processing, a process typically termed rejuvenation, can provide large improvements in mechanical …

Phases and non-equilibrium dynamics of ultracold bosons in an optical quasicrystal
… transition to Anderson insulator or Bose glass states (in non-interacting or interacting cases respectively) reminiscent of that in disordered systems, whilst lacking the rare regions that typically exist in such systems. Here we will cover experiments into this system’s behaviour in both …

The Role of Nuclear Quantum Effects in Supercooled Water and Amorphous Ice
… also increase anomalously upon cooling. In the glassy state, water can exist in two different forms, low-density and high-density amorphous ice (LDA and HDA). While water has been scrutinized for many centuries, the origin for the anomalous thermodynamic and dynamical properties of liquid and …
