Universal Jamming Criticality and Self-Organizing Principles from Disorder to the Limit of Perfect Crystalline Order
Jianhua Zhang, Jiaqi Si, Ning Xu +1
While crystals are defined by periodic order, the nature of amorphous solids remains elusive due to their disordered, diverse, and nonequilibrium structures. Here, we focus on jamm…

A mechanical approach to facilitate the formation of dodecagonal quasicrystals and their approximants
Zhehua Jiang, Jianhua Zhang, Mengyuan Zhan +4
The conditions for forming quasicrystals and their approximants are stringent, normally requiring multiple length scales to stabilize the quasicrystalline order. Here we report an…
