Recent experimental and theoretical progress on the study of crackling noise in the plastic
deformation of crystals, ferroelastics, and porous materials is reviewed. We specifically point …

Abstract Domain walls in magnets, vortex lattices in superconductors, contact lines at
depinning, and many other systems can be modeled as an elastic system subject to …

The plastic deformation of metal alloys localizes in the Portevin–Le Chatelier effect in bands
of different types, including propagating, or type “A” bands, usually characterized by their …

We give a bird's-eye view of the plastic deformation of crystals aimed at the statistical
physics community, as well as a broad introduction to the statistical theories of forced rigid …

Using numerical simulations, we investigate the impact of the demagnetization field and
finite temperature on the hysteresis phenomena in disordered ferromagnetics systems. We …

Plastic yielding of amorphous solids occurs by power-law distributed deformation
avalanches whose universality is still debated. Experiments and molecular dynamics …

This review looks at the main types of magnetic Barkhausen noise (BN) probes that have
been developed. The aim of this review is to summarize the existing knowledge of magnetic …

We study avalanches in a model for a planar crack propagating in a disordered medium.
Due to long-range interactions, avalanches are formed by a set of spatially disconnected …

We experimentally demonstrate that arrays of interacting nanoscale ferromagnetic islands,
known as artificial spin ice, develop reproducible microstates upon cycling an applied …

The existence of a well-defined yield stress, where a macroscopic crystal begins to
plastically flow, has been a basic observation in materials science. In contrast with …
