The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated
emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range …

A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

We review recent research into elastic and plastic deformation of metallic glasses, with an
emphasis on making connections between developments in theory and simulation (largely …

Shear-banding is a ubiquitous plastic-deformation mode in materials. In metallic glasses,
shear bands are particularly important as they play the decisive role in controlling plasticity …

The structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

A new group of thin film metallic glasses (TFMGs) have been reported to exhibit properties
different from conventional crystalline metal films, though their bulk forms are already well …

Colloidal particles are microscopic solid particles suspended in a fluid. Colloids are small
enough that thermal energy drives their dynamics and ensures equilibration with the …

Since the 1970s, theories of deformation and failure of amorphous, solidlike materials have
started with models in which stress-driven, molecular rearrangements occur at localized flow …

In model amorphous solids produced via differing quench protocols, a strong correlation is
established between local yield stress measured by direct local probing of shear stress …
