Topological Constraint Theory for Network Glasses and Glass-Forming Liquids: A Rigid Polytope Approach
A variation of the topological constraint theory is proposed where an atomic network is modeled as a collection of rigid polytopes, and which explicitly distinguishes the bond angle constraints as well as rigid bond angles from flexible ones. The proposed theory allows for direct quantitative estima...
