Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Cryovacuum gas condensates, especially those prone to the formation of glassy states with their subsequent transformations, are ideal objects for studying the processes occurring in disordered amorphous solid-state systems. The fact that it is possible to precisely control the conditions of cryo-deposition, such as the condensation temperature and the rate of cryo-film formation, makes it possible to establish an unambiguous correlation between the properties of cryo-condensates and the specified conditions for their formation. Ultrastable glasses (predominantly from the vapor phase under optimal deposition conditions) are a unique class of materials with low enthalpies and high kinetic stability. These highly stable and dense glasses have unique physicochemical properties, such as high thermal stability, improved mechanical properties, or anomalous supercooled transitions. At T=70 K, the transition from the amorphous glassy state (GS) to the liquid-solid cooled phase (SCL) occurs, after which its crystallization in the temperature range of 75-78 K passes into the plastic crystalline state (PC)-a cubic volume-centered structure with a directionally unregulated rotating subsystem. At T = 78-80 K, the transformation of the plastic crystal into a monoclinic crystal (MC) begins, which ends at T = 83 K.
