Elastic moduli fluctuations predict wave attenuation rates in glasses
Geert Kapteijns, David Richard, Eran Bouchbinder +1
The disorder-induced attenuation of elastic waves is central to the universal low-temperature properties of glasses. Recent literature offers conflicting views on both the scaling…
A simple and broadly-applicable definition of shear transformation zones
David Richard, Geert Kapteijns, Julia A. Giannini +2
Plastic deformation in amorphous solids is known to be carried by stress-induced localized rearrangements of a few tens of particles, accompanied by the conversion of elastic energ…
Predicting plasticity in disordered solids from structural indicators
D. Richard, M. Ozawa, S. Patinet +16
Amorphous solids lack long-range order. Therefore identifying structural defects -- akin to dislocations in crystalline solids -- that carry plastic flow in these systems remains a…
Nonlinear quasilocalized excitations in glasses. I. True representatives of soft spots
Geert Kapteijns, David Richard, Edan Lerner
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 vari…
Is directed percolation in colloid-polymer mixtures linked to dynamic arrest?
David Richard, C. Patrick Royall, Thomas Speck
Using computer simulations, we study the dynamic arrest in a schematic model of colloid-polymer mixtures combining short-ranged attractions with long-ranged repulsions. The arreste…
Crystallization of hard spheres revisited. II. Thermodynamic modeling, nucleation work, and the surface of tension
David Richard, Thomas Speck
Combining three numerical methods (forward flux sampling, seeding of droplets, and finite size droplets), we probe the crystallization of hard spheres over the full range from clos…
