Disorder-assisted melting and the glass transition in amorphous solids
Alessio Zaccone, Eugene M. Terentjev
The mechanical response of solids depends on temperature because the way atoms and molecules respond collectively to deformation is affected at various levels by thermal motion. Th…
Unexpected decoupling of stretching and bending modes in protein gels
Thomas Gibaud, Alessio Zaccone, Emanuela Del Gado +2
We show that gels formed by arrested spinodal decomposition of protein solutions exhibit elastic properties in two distinct frequency domains, both elastic moduli exhibiting a rema…
Theory of molecular crowding in Brownian hard-sphere liquids with application to the polymer coil-globule transition
Alessio Zaccone, Eugene M. Terentjev
We derive an analytical pair potential of mean force for Brownian molecules in the liquid-state. Our approach accounts for many-particle correlations of crowding particles of the l…
Network disorder and nonaffine deformations in marginal solids
Alessio Zaccone, Jamie R. Blundell, Eugene M. Terentjev
The most profound effect of disorder on the elastic response of solids is the nonaffinity of local displacements whereby the atoms (particles, network junctions) do not simply foll…
