On the Formation of Crystalline and Non-Crystalline Solid States and Their Thermal Transport Properties| A Topological Perspective via a Quaternion Orientational Order Parameter
<p> The work presented in this thesis is a topological approach for understanding the formation of structures from the liquid state. The strong difference in the thermal transport properties of non- crystalline solid states as compared to crystalline counterparts is considered within this topo...
