Spotting structural defects in crystals from the topology of vibrational modes
Long-Zhou Huang, Yun-Jiang Wang, Matteo Baggioli
Because of the inevitably disordered background, structural defects are not well-defined concepts in amorphous solids. In order to overcome this difficulty, it has been recently pr…
Atomistic mechanisms of dynamics in a two-dimensional dodecagonal quasicrystal
Kun Zhao, Matteo Baggioli, Wen-Sheng Xu +2
Quasicrystals have been observed in a variety of materials ranging from metal alloys to block copolymers. However, their structural and dynamical properties cannot be readily descr…
Correlation between vibrational anomalies and emergent anharmonicity of local potential energy landscape in metallic glasses
Zeng-Yu Yang, Yun-Jiang Wang, Alessio Zaccone
The boson peak (BP) is a universal feature in the Raman and inelastic scattering spectra of both disordered and crystalline materials. The current paradigm presents the boson peak…
Atomistic structural mechanism for the glass transition: Entropic contribution
Dong Han, Dan Wei, Jie Yang +5
A popular Adam--Gibbs scenario has suggested that the excess entropy of glass and liquid over crystal dominates the dynamical arrest at the glass transition with exclusive contribu…
Assessing the Utility of Structure in Amorphous Materials
Dan Wei, Jie Yang, Min-Qiang Jiang +5
This paper presents a set of general strategies for the analysis of structure in amorphous materials and a general approach to assessing the utility of a selected structural descri…
Incorporating a soft ordered phase into an amorphous configuration enhances its uniform plastic deformation under shear
Guo-Jie J. Gao, Yun-Jiang Wang, Shigenobu Ogata
Amorphous materials of homogeneous structures usually suffer from nonuniform deformation under shear, which can develop into shear localization and eventually destructive shear ban…
