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…
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…
