Glasses and amorphous materials are a class of materials which do not display a crystalline structure: their distinguishing characteristic is not having the long-range order that is the typical signature of a crystal. Because of their electrical and optical properties that arise from these intrinsic disordered structures, they have been a topic of research for many years. Recently, for example, amorphous inorganic semiconductors have been used in a variety of new technologies including solar cells, photoelectrocatalysis, and photocatalysis, where the amorphous phases can improve both efficiency and stability.
This Collection brings together original research in glasses and amorphous materials and its launch coincides with the International Year of Glass 2022, where we celebrate the importance of this material in the global society.
