Local Structural Signatures of Shear Bands in Metallic Glasses via Electron Nanodiffraction

Huyen T. Pham, Daniel East, Chunguang Tang +4

Structural changes in a glass due to deformation are subtle and difficult to quantify using conventional imaging and diffraction techniques. Additionally, transmission electron mic…

Burgers rings as topological signatures of Eshelby-like plastic events in glasses

Arabinda Bera, Ido Regev, Alessio Zaccone +1

Eshelby-like quadrupolar structures serve as the fundamental microscopic units for characterizing plastic instabilities in amorphous solids and play a crucial role in explaining th…

Geometric indicators of local plasticity in glasses measured by scanning small-beam diffraction

Amelia C. Y. Liu, Huyen Pham, Arabinda Bera +7

The notion of defects in crystalline phases of matter has been extremely powerful for understanding crystal growth, deformation and melting. Many of these discontinuities in the pe…

Glassy heat capacity from overdamped phasons and a hypothetical phason-induced superconductivity in incommensurate structures

Cunyuan Jiang, Alessio Zaccone, Chandan Setty +1

Phasons are collective low-energy modes that appear in disparate condensed matter systems such as quasicrystals, incommensurate structures, fluctuating charge density waves, and Mo…

Superconducting dome in ferroelectric-type materials from soft mode instability

Chandan Setty, Matteo Baggioli, Alessio Zaccone

We present a minimal theory of superconductivity enhancement in ferroelectric-type materials. Simple expressions for the optical mode responsible for the soft mode transition are a…

Reply to Shvaika et al.: Presence of a boson peak in anharmonic phonon models with Akhiezer-type damping

Matteo Baggioli, Alessio Zaccone

We reply to the Comment by Svhaika, Ruocco, Schirmacher and collaborators. There were two accidental mistakes in our original paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 145501 (2019)), which hav…
