Floppy mode degeneracy and decoupling of constraint predictions in supercooled borate and silicate liquids

The theory of temperature-dependent topological constraints has been used to successfully explain the compositional dependence of glass properties for oxide and non-oxide compositions. It relates the number of topological degrees of freedom with the glass transition temperature through the configura...
