Emergence and suppression of phonon vortices in two-dimensional crystals: Interplay of lattice symmetry, heavy impurities, and shear

Yu-Tian Zhang, Deng Pan, Yuliang Jin

Phonon vortices are vortex-like displacement fields that appear in the vibrational modes of two- dimensional materials. Here, we demonstrate that these vortices arise as symmetry-a…

Relaxation of quenched structural glasses: descent in a stiffening caging potential over inflection-point 'speed bumps'

Ting Qu, Deng Pan, Yuliang Jin

The slow energy relaxation in quenched glasses is a ubiquitous yet poorly understood phenomenon. Despite extensive study, the microscopic origin of the observed power-law decay rem…

Programming strain-stiffening in soft composites via structural memory near jamming

Yiqiu Zhao, Deng Pan, Yiming Pang +6

Soft composite solids, comprising discrete inclusions embedded within a compliant matrix, are emerging candidates for engineering synthetic tissues and soft robotic materials. Curr…

Hierarchical and ultrametric barriers in the energy landscape of jammed granular matter

Shuonan Wu, Yuchen Xie, Deng Pan +2

According to the mean-field glass theory, the (free) energy landscape of disordered systems is hierarchical and ultrametric if they belong to the full-replica-symmetry-breaking uni…

Jamming as a topological satisfiability transition with contact number hyperuniformity and criticality

Jin Shang, Yinqiao Wang, Deng Pan +2

The jamming transition between flow and amorphous-solid states exhibits paradoxical properties characterized by hyperuniformity (suppressed spatial fluctuations) and criticality (h…

Universal activated aging and weak ergodicity breaking in spin and structural glasses

Bin Li, Deng Pan, Ting Qu +1

Glasses possess complex energy landscapes and exhibit non-equilibrium aging dynamics. Here, we propose a generalized trap model for activated aging based on a key static property o…

Gardner transition coincides with the emergence of jamming scalings in hard spheres and disks

Qi Wang, Deng Pan, Yuliang Jin

The Gardner transition in structural glasses is characterized by full-replica symmetry breaking of the free-energy landscape and the onset of anomalous aging dynamics due to margin…

Long-range angular correlations of particle displacements at a plastic-to-elastic transition in jammed amorphous solids

Yang Fu, Yuliang Jin, Deng Pan +1

Understanding how a flow turns into an amorphous solid is a fundamental challenge in statistical physics, during which no apparent structural ordering appears. In the athermal limi…

Jamming is a first-order transition with quenched disorder in amorphous materials sheared by cyclic quasistatic deformations

Yue Deng, Deng Pan, Yuliang Jin

Jamming is an athermal transition between flowing and rigid states in amorphous systems such as granular matter, colloidal suspensions, complex fluids and cells. The jamming transi…
