Coupled dynamical phase transitions in driven disk packings
arXiv:2203.07231 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.188002
Abstract
Under the influence of oscillatory shear, a mono-layer of frictional granular disks exhibits two dynamical phase transitions: a transition from an initially disordered state to an ordered crystalline state, and a dynamic active-absorbing phase transition. Although there is no reason, {\it a-priori}, for these to be at the same critical point, they are. The transitions may also be characterized by the disk trajectories, which are non-trivial loops breaking time-reversal invariance.
