Thermal origin of quasi-localised excitations in glasses
Wencheng Ji, Tom W. J. de Geus, Marko Popović +2
Key aspects of glasses are controlled by the presence of excitations in which a group of particles can rearrange. Surprisingly, recent observations indicate that their density is d…

How collective asperity detachments nucleate slip at frictional interfaces
Tom W. J. de Geus, Marko Popović, Wencheng Ji +2
Sliding at a quasi-statically loaded frictional interface can occur via macroscopic slip events, which nucleate locally before propagating as rupture fronts very similar to fractur…
