Dynamic relaxations and relaxation-property relationships in metallic glasses

WH Wang - Progress in Materials Science, 2019 - Elsevier
Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

Fractons

RM Nandkishore, M Hermele - Annual Review of Condensed …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Fracton phases constitute a new class of quantum state of matter. They are characterized by
excitations that exhibit restricted mobility, being either immobile under local Hamiltonian …

Unveiling the predictive power of static structure in glassy systems

V Bapst, T Keck, A Grabska-Barwińska, C Donner… - Nature physics, 2020 - nature.com
Despite decades of theoretical studies, the nature of the glass transition remains elusive and
debated, while the existence of structural predictors of its dynamics is a major open …

Quantum scarred eigenstates in a Rydberg atom chain: Entanglement, breakdown of thermalization, and stability to perturbations

CJ Turner, AA Michailidis, DA Abanin, M Serbyn… - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Recent realization of a kinetically constrained chain of Rydberg atoms by Bernien,[Nature
(London) 551, 579 (2017) NATUAS 0028-0836 10.1038/nature24622] resulted in the …

Hyperuniform states of matter

S Torquato - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
Hyperuniform states of matter are correlated systems that are characterized by an
anomalous suppression of long-wavelength (ie, large-length-scale) density fluctuations …

Mode-coupling theory of the glass transition: A primer

LMC Janssen - Frontiers in Physics, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Understanding the physics of glass formation remains one of the major unsolved challenges
of condensed matter science. As a material solidifies into a glass, it exhibits a spectacular …

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 …

Towards a theory of metastability in open quantum dynamics

K Macieszczak, M Guţă, I Lesanovsky, JP Garrahan - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
By generalizing concepts from classical stochastic dynamics, we establish the basis for a
theory of metastability in Markovian open quantum systems. Partial relaxation into long-lived …

Viscosity of deeply supercooled water and its coupling to molecular diffusion

A Dehaoui, B Issenmann, F Caupin - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 - pnas.org
The viscosity of a liquid measures its resistance to flow, with consequences for hydraulic
machinery, locomotion of microorganisms, and flow of blood in vessels and sap in trees …

Glassy quantum dynamics in translation invariant fracton models

A Prem, J Haah, R Nandkishore - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We investigate relaxation in the recently discovered “fracton” models and discover that these
models naturally host glassy quantum dynamics in the absence of quenched disorder. We …
