Emergent Disorder and Mechanical Memory in Periodic Metamaterials
Chaviva Sirote-Katz, Dor Shohat, Carl Merrigan +3
Ordered mechanical systems typically have one or only a few stable rest configurations, and hence are not considered useful for encoding memory. Multistable and history-dependent r…
Topologically Protected Steady Cycles in an Ice-Like Mechanical Metamaterial
Carl Merrigan, Cristiano Nisoli, Yair Shokef
Competing ground states may lead to topologically constrained excitations such as domain walls or quasiparticles, which govern metastable states and their dynamics. Domain walls an…
Arrested States in Persistent Active Matter: Gelation without Attraction
Carl Merrigan, Kabir Ramola, Rakesh Chatterjee +3
We explore phase separation and kinetic arrest in a model active colloidal system consisting of self-propelled, hard-core particles with nonconvex shapes. The passive limit of the…
Motion of active tracer in a lattice gas with cross-shaped particles
Rakesh Chatterjee, Nimrod Segall, Carl Merrigan +3
We analyze the dynamics of an active tracer particle embedded in a thermal lattice gas. All particles are subject to exclusion up to third nearest neighbors on the square lattice,…
Ergodicity breaking dynamics of arch collapse
Carl Merrigan, Sumit Kumar Birwa, Shubha Tewari +1
Gravity driven flows such as in hoppers and silos are susceptible to clogging due to the formation of arches at the exit whose failure is the key to re-initiation of flow. In vibra…
Quantum signal transmission through a single-qubit chain
Ya. S. Greenberg, C. Merrigan, A. Tayebi +1
A system of a two-level atom of an impurity (qubit) inserted into a periodic chain coupled to the continuum is studied with the use of the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Exac…
