Dynamic Gardner crossover in a simple structural glass
arXiv:2209.10917 · doi:10.1073/pnas.2218218120
Abstract
The criticality of the jamming transition responsible for amorphous solidification has been theoretically linked to the marginal stability of a thermodynamic Gardner phase. While the critical exponents of jamming appear independent of the preparation history, the pertinence of Gardner physics far from equilibrium is an open question. To fill this gap, we numerically study the nonequilibrium dynamics of hard disks compressed towards the jamming transition using a broad variety of protocols. We show that dynamic signatures of Gardner physics can be disentangled from the aging relaxation dynamics. We thus define a generic dynamic Gardner crossover regardless of the history. Our results show that the jamming transition is always accessed by exploring increasingly complex landscape, resulting in the anomalous microscopic relaxation dynamics that remains to be understood theoretically.
