The role of local structure in dynamical arrest

CP Royall, SR Williams - Physics Reports, 2015‏ - Elsevier
Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

A review on shear jamming

D Pan, Y Wang, H Yoshino, J Zhang, Y ** - Physics reports, 2023‏ - Elsevier
Jamming is a ubiquitous phenomenon that appears in many soft matter systems, including
granular materials, foams, colloidal suspensions, emulsions, polymers, and cells—when …

Perspective: The glass transition

G Biroli, JP Garrahan - The Journal of chemical physics, 2013‏ - pubs.aip.org
We provide here a brief perspective on the glass transition field. It is an assessment, written
from the point of view of theory, of where the field is and where it seems to be heading. We …

Statistics and properties of low-frequency vibrational modes in structural glasses

E Lerner, G Düring, E Bouchbinder - Physical review letters, 2016‏ - APS
Low-frequency vibrational modes play a central role in determining various basic properties
of glasses, yet their statistical and mechanical properties are not fully understood. Using …

Statistical physics of the yielding transition in amorphous solids

S Karmakar, E Lerner, I Procaccia - … Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2010‏ - APS
The art of making structural, polymeric, and metallic glasses is rapidly develo** with many
applications. A limitation is that under increasing external strain all amorphous solids (like …

Reaching the yield point of a glass during X-ray irradiation

A Martinelli, F Caporaletti, F Dallari, M Sprung… - Physical Review X, 2023‏ - APS
A solid loaded beyond the yield stress loses its elastic properties and becomes plastic. From
a microscopic point of view, this limit corresponds to the condition where plastic regions …

Shear bands as manifestation of a criticality in yielding amorphous solids

G Parisi, I Procaccia, C Rainone, M Singh - Proceedings of the National …, 2017‏ - pnas.org
Amorphous solids increase their stress as a function of an applied strain until a mechanical
yield point whereupon the stress cannot increase anymore, afterward exhibiting a steady …

Do athermal amorphous solids exist?

HGE Hentschel, S Karmakar, E Lerner… - Physical Review E …, 2011‏ - APS
We study the elastic theory of amorphous solids made of particles with finite range
interactions in the thermodynamic limit. For the elastic theory to exist, one requires all the …

Creep and flow of glasses: Strain response linked to the spatial distribution of dynamical heterogeneities

T Sentjabrskaja, P Chaudhuri, M Hermes, WCK Poon… - Scientific reports, 2015‏ - nature.com
Mechanical properties are of central importance to materials sciences, in particular if they
depend on external stimuli. Here we investigate the rheological response of amorphous …

Nonlinear quasilocalized excitations in glasses: True representatives of soft spots

G Kapteijns, D Richard, E Lerner - Physical Review E, 2020‏ - APS
Structural glasses formed by quenching a melt possess a population of soft quasilocalized
excitations—often called “soft spots”—that are believed to play a key role in various …
