Finite-size scaling as a way to probe near-criticality in natural swarms
A. Attanasi, A. Cavagna, L. Del Castello +8
Collective behaviour in biological systems is often accompanied by strong correlations. The question has therefore arisen of whether correlation is amplified by the vicinity to som…
Collective behaviour without collective order in wild swarms of midges
A. Attanasi, A. Cavagna, L. Del Castello +8
Collective behaviour is a widespread phenomenon in biology, cutting through a huge span of scales, from cell colonies up to bird flocks and fish schools. The most prominent trait o…
Elasticity and metastability limit in supercooled liquids: a lattice model
Alessandro Attanasi, Andrea Cavagna, Jose' Lorenzana
We present Monte Carlo simulations on a lattice system that displays a first order phase transition between a disordered phase (liquid) and an ordered phase (crystal). The model is…
Viscoelasticity and metastability limit in supercooled liquids
Andrea Cavagna, Alessandro Attanasi, Jose Lorenzana
A supercooled liquid is said to have a kinetic spinodal if a temperature Tsp exists below which the liquid relaxation time exceeds the crystal nucleation time. We revisit classical…
