The T-Shaped Anisotropic Molecule Model: A Unique Perspective on the Glass Transition and Gelation in Low Valence, Directional, Network Forming Liquids
<p>Glass and gel formers exhibit unusual mechanical characteristics and amorphous phases which are highly dependent on their thermal history. We introduce a lattice model with T-shaped molecules that exhibits glassy and gel-like states without introducing artificial frustration. This system...
