Anharmonicity and quasi-localization of the excess low-frequency vibrations in jammed solids
Ning Xu, Vincenzo Vitelli, Andrea J. Liu +1
We compare the harmonic and anharmonic properties of the vibrational modes in 3-dimensional jammed packings of frictionless spheres interacting via repulsive, finite range potentia…
Extrinsic Curvature, Geometric Optics, and Lamellar Order on Curved Substrates
R. D. Kamien, D. R. Nelson, C. D. Santangelo +1
When thermal energies are weak, two dimensional lamellar structures confined on a curved substrate display complex patterns arising from the competition between layer bending and c…
Heat transport in model jammed solids
Vincenzo Vitelli, Ning Xu, Matthieu Wyart +2
We calculate numerically the normal modes of vibrations in 3D jammed packings of soft spheres as a function of the packing fraction and obtain the energy diffusivity, a spectral me…
Topological Defects in Gravitational Lensing Shear Fields
Vincenzo Vitelli, Bhuvnesh Jain, Randall D. Kamien
Shear fields due to weak gravitational lensing have characteristic coherent patterns. We describe the topological defects in shear fields in terms of the curvature of the surface d…
