Microstructural patterns of twin boundaries and tweed in ferroelastic materials display typical aspects of glasses. The patterns are complex, their dynamics follows Vogel–Fulcher statistics and their field cooling–non‐field cooling hysteresis is similar to those described in this issue as ‘strain glasses’. The difference is that domain glasses do not need extrinsic defects to form. In the paraelastic...
Non‐ergodic, glass‐like structures are commonly observed whenever the degree of disorder in a structural phase transition is large. Salje, Ding and Aktas (on pp. 2061–2066) show that such disorder can be generated by nanostructures when dense domain patterns are formed. Domain glasses are characterized by massive elastic softening compared with the homogeneous matrix. Domain glasses show typical Vogel–Fulcher...
