String-like Rearrangements Induce Mobility in Supercooled Liquids

Rahul N. Chacko

Dynamical heterogeneity is a signature phenomenon of deeply supercooled liquids and glasses. Here, we demonstrate that the spatiotemporal correlations between local relaxation even…

Dynamical Facilitation Governs the Equilibration Dynamics of Glasses

Rahul N. Chacko, François P. Landes, Giulio Biroli +3

Convincing evidence of domain growth in the heating of ultrastable glasses suggests that the equilibration dynamics of super-cooled liquids could be driven by a nucleation and grow…

Elastoplasticity Mediates Dynamical Heterogeneity Below the Mode-Coupling Temperature

Rahul N. Chacko, François P. Landes, Giulio Biroli +3

As liquids approach the glass transition temperature, dynamical heterogeneity emerges as a crucial universal feature of their behavior. Dynamic facilitation, where local motion tri…

Slow coarsening in jammed athermal soft particle suspensions

Rahul N. Chacko, Peter Sollich, Suzanne M. Fielding

We simulate a densely jammed, athermal assembly of repulsive soft particles immersed in a solvent. Starting from an initial condition corresponding to a quench from a high temperat…

Dynamic vorticity banding in discontinuously shear thickening suspensions

Rahul N. Chacko, Romain Mari, Michael E. Cates +1

It has recently been argued that steady-state vorticity bands cannot arise in shear thickening suspensions, because the normal stress imbalance across the interface between the ban…
