Auxetic behaviour in crystals of hard polyhedra
Rinske M. Alkemade, Silvana A. Caipa Cure, Alptuğ Ulugöl +8
Auxetic materials - systems that, when subjected to a compression in one direction, also compress in one or more perpendicular directions - have intrigued researchers for decades d…
Self-assembly of quasicrystals under cyclic shear
Raphaël Maire, Andrea Plati, Frank Smallenburg +1
We investigate the self-assembly of two-dimensional dodecagonal quasicrystals driven by cyclic shear, effectively replacing thermal fluctuations with plastic rearrangements. Using…
Conservation laws and slow dynamics determine the universality class of interfaces in active matter
Raphaël Maire, Andrea Plati, Frank Smallenburg +1
While equilibrium interfaces display universal large-scale statistics, interfaces in phase-separated active and driven systems are predicted to belong to distinct non-equilibrium u…
Dynamical and structural properties of an absorbing phase transition: a case study from granular systems
Raphael Maire, Andrea Plati, Frank Smallenburg +1
We investigate the dynamical and structural properties of absorbing phase transitions (APTs) within granular systems. Specifically, we examine a model for vibrofluidized systems of…
Non-equilibrium coexistence between a fluid and a hotter or colder crystal of granular hard disks
R. Maire, A. Plati, F. Smallenburg +1
Non-equilibrium phase coexistence is commonly observed in both biological and artificial systems, yet understanding it remains a significant challenge. Unlike equilibrium systems,…
Self-assembly and non-equilibrium phase coexistence in a binary granular mixture
A. Plati, R. Maire, F. Boulogne +3
We report the experimental observation of a square crystalline phase in a vibrated binary mixture of spherical grains. This structure spontaneously forms from a disordered state, c…
Dynamics of supercooled liquids: density fluctuations and Mode Coupling Theory
E. Zaccarelli, G. Foffi, P. De Gregorio +3
We write equations of motion for density variables that are equivalent to Newtons equations. We then propose a set of trial equations parameterised by two unknown functions to desc…
