Scaling regimes and fluctuations of observables in computer glasses approaching the unjamming transition

Julia A. Giannini, Edan Lerner, Francesco Zamponi +1

Under decompression, disordered solids undergo an unjamming transition where they become under-coordinated and lose their structural rigidity. The mechanical and vibrational proper…

Searching for structural predictors of plasticity in dense active packings

Julia A. Giannini, Ethan M. Stanifer, M. Lisa Manning

In amorphous solids subject to shear or thermal excitation, so-called structural indicators have been developed that predict locations of future plasticity or particle rearrangemen…

Bond-space operator disentangles quasi-localized and phononic modes in structural glasses

Julia A Giannini, David Richard, M. Lisa Manning +1

The origin of several emergent mechanical and dynamical properties of structural glasses is often attributed to populations of localized structural instabilities, coined quasilocal…

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…

Testing a thermodynamic approach to collective animal behavior in laboratory fish schools

Julia A. Giannini, James G. Puckett

Collective behaviors displayed by groups of social animals are observed frequently in nature. Understanding and predicting the behavior of complex biological systems is dependent o…

Collective gradient sensing in fish schools

James G. Puckett, Aawaz R. Pokhrel, Julia A. Giannini

Throughout the animal kingdom, animals frequently benefit from living in groups. Models of collective behaviour show that simple local interactions are sufficient to generate group…
