To date, only several microporous, and even fewer nanoporous, glasses have been produced, always via post synthesis acid treatment of phase separated dense materials, e.g. Vycor glass. In contrast, high internal surface areas are readily achieved in crystalline such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). It has recently discovered that a new family melt quenched can be produced from MOFs, though they thus far lacked the accessible intrinsic porosity their precursors. Here, we report first...
The majority of research into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) focuses on their crystalline nature. Recent has revealed solid-liquid transitions within the family, which we use here to create a class functional, stable and porous composite materials.

The liquid and glass states of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently become interest due to the potential for liquid-phase separations ion transport, alongside fundamental nature latter as a new, fourth category melt-quenched glass. Here we show that MOF state can be blended with another component, resulting in domain structured single, tailorable transition. Intra-domain connectivity short range order is confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy pair distribution function...
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses are a newly emerged family of melt-quenched glasses. Recently, several intriguing features, such as ultrahigh glass-forming ability and low liquid fragility, have been discovered in number zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) that subset MOFs. However, the fracture behavior ZIF has not explored. Here we report an observation both cracking pattern shear bands induced by indentation representative glass, is, ZIF-62 glass (ZnIm1.68bIm0.32). The banding is...
Recently, we observed an unusual non-monotonic glass relaxation phenomenon, i.e., the three-step sub-T(g) in hyperquenched CuZrAl ribbons [L. N. Hu and Y. Z. Yue, Appl. Phys. Lett. 98, 081904 (2011)]. In present work, reveal origin of this abnormal behavior by studying cooling rate dependence enthalpy two metallic glasses. For Cu46Zr46Al8 pattern exhibits a trend with annealing temperature only when are fabricated below critical rate. La55Al25Ni20 activation energy for onset also varies...
In the present work, we show experimental evidence for dynamic fragile-to-strong (F-S) transition in a series of CuZr(Al) glass-forming liquids (GFLs). A detailed analysis dynamics 98 indicates that F-S occurs around Tf-s ≈ 1.36 Tg. Using hyperquenching-annealing-x-ray scattering approach, have observed three-stage evolution pattern medium-range ordering (MRO) structures during transition, indicating dramatic change MRO clusters upon cooling. The GFLs is attributed to competition among...
It is known that both the fragile-to-strong (F–S) transition and relaxation processes occur in numerous supercooled liquids upon cooling toward glass temperature. The key question whether how these two dynamic are correlated. Here, we show a direct link between for metallic glass-forming (MGFLs) with different fragilities also nonmetallic liquids. By comparing F–S extent parameter f r characterizes competition α slow β relaxations, have discovered negative exponential connection parameters...
We study the dynamic behavior of CuZr-based melts well above liquidus temperature.

Pure metal–organic framework (MOF) layers deposited on porous supports are important candidates for molecular sieving membranes, but their performance usually deviates from theoretical estimations. Here, we combine step-wise scanning electron microscopy imaging, time-resolved synchrotron X-ray scattering, terahertz infrared spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculation to investigate the ZIF-8 membrane formation two types (polydopamine TiO2) of functionalized supports. Though...
A series of TiN/AlN-Ni multilayer films with different modulation layer thicknesses were prepared by magnetron sputtering.

In this work, we explore the thermodynamic evolution in a melt-quenched metal–organic framework glass, formed from ZIF-62 upon heating to melting point (<italic>T</italic><sub>m</sub>), and subsequent enthalpy relaxation.
We report on a correlation between the supercooled liquid (SL) relaxation and glass Poisson's ratio (v) by comparing activation energy (r) of α slow β relaxations v values for both metallic nonmetallic glasses. generally increases with an increase in r this relation can be described empirical function = 0.5 - A*exp(-B*r), where A B are constants. This might imply that plasticity is associated competition SLs. The underlying physics lies heredity structural heterogeneity from to glass. work...
We investigate the sub-T(g) relaxation patterns (RPs) in binary and quaternary Cu-based glass ribbons (GRs) by using hyperquenching-sub-T(g) annealing-calorimetric approach. This study contributes to revealing structural or dynamic evolution liquids related observed three-stage processes GRs. In this work, we have achieved following three findings. First, abnormal behavior is not a general phenomenon for metallic glasses could be simply predicted large difference enthalpy of mixing between...
