Release of free-volume bubbles by cooperative-rearrangement regions during the deposition growth of a colloidal glass
Vapor deposition can produce ultrastable glasses similar to conventional glasses aged over thousands of years. Here authors study deposition growth kinetics of a two-dimensional colloidal glass and report relatively frequent occurrence of large and anisotropic regions of cooperative rearrangements a...
