Due to nonuniform aggregation in liquid state, from the thermodynamic point of view any glass-forming vicinity liquid-to-solid phase transition temperature, irrespective its actual chemical composition, shall be described terms a complex multicomponent solution whose comprised same elements components have characteristic atomic arrangement deviating various extent ground state with respect size, shape, density, structure, and stoichiometry. Therefore, glass appears process non-equilibrium solidification upon rapid cooling. The essential feature this is that attempts solid phases solidifying separate out are largely arrested due quenching. Thus, occurs absence solid-liquid interface, so substance liquid-to-glass region observed behaving like fluid rapidly growing viscosity reflects formation mechanically rigid stable bound configurations. It shown classified as solutions not standalone phenomenon.
