Two-Dimensional Melting of two- and three-component mixtures
Yan-Wei Li, Yugui Yao, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
We elucidate the interplay between diverse two-dimensional melting pathways and establish solid/hexatic and hexatic/liquid transition criteria via the numerical simulations of the…
Local Plastic Response and Slow Heterogeneous Dynamics of Supercooled Liquids
Yan-Wei Li, Yugui Yao, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
We demonstrate, via numerical simulations, that the relaxation dynamics of supercooled liquids correlates well with a plastic length scale measuring a particle's response to impuls…
Unconventional rheological properties in systems of deformable particles
Anshuman Pasupalak, Shawn Khuhan Samidurai, Yanwei Li +3
We demonstrate the existence of unconventional rheological and memory properties in systems of soft-deformable particles whose energy depends on their shape, via numerical simulati…
Long-wavelength fluctuations and dimensionality crossover in confined liquids
Jing Yang, Yan-Wei Li, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
The phase behavior of liquids confined in a slit geometry does not reveal a crossover from a three to a two-dimensional behavior as the gap size decreases. Indeed, the prototypical…
Softness, anomalous dynamics, and fractal-like energy landscape in model cell tissues
Yan-Wei Li, Leon Loh Yeong Wei, Matteo Paoluzzi +1
Epithelial cell tissues have a slow relaxation dynamics resembling that of supercooled liquids. Yet, they also have distinguishing features. These include an extended short-time su…
Attraction tames two-dimensional melting: from continuous to discontinuous transitions
Yan-Wei Li, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
Two-dimensional systems may admit a hexatic phase and hexatic-liquid transitions of different natures. The determination of their phase diagrams proved challenging, and indeed thos…
