Detecting low-energy quasilocalized excitations in computer glasses

David Richard, Geert Kapteijns, Edan Lerner

Soft, quasilocalized excitations (QLEs) are known to generically emerge in a broad class of disordered solids, and to govern many facets of the physics of glasses, from wave attenu…

A unified quantifier of mechanical disorder in solids

Geert Kapteijns, Eran Bouchbinder, Edan Lerner

Mechanical disorder in solids, which is generated by a broad range of physical processes and controls various material properties, appears in a wide variety of forms. Defining unif…

Does mesoscopic elasticity control viscous slowing down in glassforming liquids?

Geert Kapteijns, David Richard, Eran Bouchbinder +3

The dramatic slowing down of relaxation dynamics of liquids approaching the glass transition remains a highly debated problem, where the crux of the puzzle resides in the elusive i…

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…

Universality of the nonphononic vibrational spectrum across different classes of computer glasses

David Richard, Karina González-López, Geert Kapteijns +4

It has been recently established that the low-frequency spectrum of simple computer glass models is populated by soft, quasilocalized nonphononic vibrational modes whose frequencie…

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…

Wave attenuation in glasses: Rayleigh and generalized-Rayleigh scattering scaling

Avraham Moriel, Geert Kapteijns, Corrado Rainone +3

The attenuation of long-wavelength phonons (waves) by glassy disorder plays a central role in various glass anomalies, yet it is neither fully characterized, nor fully understood.…

Finite-size effects on sound damping in stable computer glasses

Corrado Rainone, Avraham Moriel, Geert Kapteijns +2

In this brief note we comment on the recent results presented in arXiv:1812.08736v1

Fast generation of ultrastable computer glasses by minimization of an augmented potential energy

Geert Kapteijns, Wencheng Ji, Carolina Brito +2

We present a model and protocol that enable the generation of extremely stable computer glasses at minimal computational cost. The protocol consists of an instantaneous quench in a…

Finite correlation length scaling with infinite projected entangled-pair states

Philippe Corboz, Piotr Czarnik, Geert Kapteijns +1

We show how to accurately study 2D quantum critical phenomena using infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS). We identify the presence of a finite correlation length in the…

Universal non-phononic density of states in 2D, 3D and 4D glasses

Geert Kapteijns, Eran Bouchbinder, Edan Lerner

It is now well established that structural glasses possess disorder- and frustration-induced soft quasilocalized excitations, which play key roles in various glassy phenomena. Rece…
