The "glass transition'' as a topological defect driven transition in a distribution of crystals and a prediction of a universal viscosity collapse
Z. Nussinov, N. B. Weingartner, F. S. Nogueira
Topological defects are typically quantified relative to ordered backgrounds. The importance of these defects to the understanding of physical phenomena including diverse equilibri…
The Stochastic Replica Approach to Machine Learning: Stability and Parameter Optimization
Patrick Chao, Tahereh Mazaheri, Bo Sun +2
We introduce a statistical physics inspired supervised machine learning algorithm for classification and regression problems. The method is based on the invariances or stability of…
A phase space approach to supercooled liquids and a universal collapse of their viscosity
Nicholas B. Weingartner, Chris Pueblo, Flavio S. Nogueira +2
A broad fundamental understanding of the mechanisms underlying the phenomenology of supercooled liquids has remained elusive, despite decades of intense exploration. When supercool…
Probing Local Structure in Glass by the Application of Shear
Nicholas B. Weingartner, Zohar Nussinov
The glass transition remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of contemporary condensed matter physics. When crystallization is bypassed by rapid cooling, a supercooled liquid,…
Critical assessment of the equilibrium melting-based, energy distribution theory of supercooled liquids and application to jammed systems
Nicholas B. Weingartner, Chris Pueblo, K. F. Kelton +1
Despite decades of intense study, the mechanisms underlying the extraordinary dynamics of supercooled liquids as they approach the glass transition remain, at best, mis-characteriz…
A Dramatically Growing Shear Rigidity Length Scale in a Supercooled Glass Former ()
Nicholas B. Weingartner, Ryan Soklaski, K. F. Kelton +1
Finding a suitably growing length scale that increases in tandem with the immense viscous slowdown of supercooled liquids is an open problem associated with the glass transition. H…
