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…
