Topological defects are singularities within a field that cannot be removed by continuous
transformations. The definition of these irregularities requires an ordered reference …

An analytical derivation of the vibrational density of states (DOS) of liquids, and, in particular,
of its characteristic linear in frequency low-energy regime, has always been elusive because …

We investigate the fast β-and Johari–Goldstein (JG) β-relaxation processes, along with the
elastic scattering response of glass-forming (GF) liquids and the boson peak, in a simulated …

Understanding thermodynamics in liquids at the atomic level is challenging because of
strong atomic interactions and lack of spatial symmetry. Recent prior theoretical works have …

We combine hydrodynamic and field theoretic methods to develop a general theory of
phonons as Goldstone bosons in crystals, glasses, and liquids based on nonaffine …

Numerous experimental and computational studies have established that most liquids seem
to exhibit a remarkable, yet poorly understood, property termed “thermodynamic scaling”, in …

The vibrational properties of crystalline bulk materials are well described by Debye theory,
which successfully predicts the quadratic ω 2 low-frequency scaling of the vibrational density …

Develo** microscopic understanding of the thermal properties of liquids is challenging
due to their strong dynamic disorder, which prevents characterization of the atomic degrees …

We systematically study glass formation in the well-known Kob–Andersen model over a
wide range of densities and pressures as a basis for judging the “universality” of glass …

Develo** a deep understanding of macroscopic mechanical properties of amorphous
systems, which lack structural periodicity, has posed a key challenge, not only at the level of …
