Yielding of a Model Glassformer: an Interpretation with an Effective System of Icosahedra
Rhiannon Pinney, Tanniemola B. Liverpool, C. Patrick Royall
We consider the yielding under simple shear of a binary Lennard-Jones glassformer whose super-Arrhenius dynamics are correlated with the formation of icosahedral structures. We rec…

Active suspensions have non-monotonic flow curves and multiple mechanical equilibria
Aurore Loisy, Jens Eggers, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
We point out unconventional mechanical properties of confined active fluids, such as bacterial suspensions, under shear. Using a minimal model of an active liquid crystal with no f…
