Hidden universality in dislocation-loops mediated three-dimensional crystal melting
Alessio Zaccone, Konrad Samwer
Understanding why and how crystalline solids melt remains a central problem in condensed-matter physics. Dislocation loops are fundamental topological excitations that control the…
Emergent rigidity percolation of five-fold aggregates enables controllable glass properties
Wei Chu, Zheng Wang, Christopher Ness +3
Metallic glasses possess outstanding mechanical and physical properties, making them promising candidates for advanced structural and functional applications; however, the lack of…
Quantum confinement theory of ultra-thin films: electronic, thermal and superconducting properties
Alessio Zaccone
The miniaturization of electronic devices has led to the prominence, in technological applications, of ultra-thin films with a thickness ranging from a few tens of nanometers to ju…
Fragility and thermal expansion control crystal melting and the glass transition
Alessio Zaccone, Konrad Samwer
Analytical relations for the glass transition temperature, , and the crystal melting temperature, , are developed on the basis of nonaffine lattice dynamics. The proposed…
Complete mathematical theory of the jamming transition: A perspective
Alessio Zaccone
The jamming transition of frictionless athermal particles is a paradigm to understand the mechanics of amorphous materials at the atomic scale. Concepts related to the jamming tran…
Relativistic theory of the viscosity of fluids across the entire energy spectrum
Alessio Zaccone
The shear viscosity is a fundamental transport property of matter. Here we derive a general theory of the viscosity of gases based on the relativistic Langevin equation (deduced fr…
Magnetic penetration depth of Aluminum thin films
David López-Núñez, Alba Torras-Coloma, Queralt Portell Montserrat +5
We present a study of the superconducting penetration depth in aluminum thin films of varying thickness. The range of thicknesses chosen spans from the thin-film regime to the…
