Plastic ridge formation in a compressed thin amorphous film
Gianfranco Cordella, Francesco Puosi, Antonio Tripodo +2
We demonstrate that surface morphogenesis in compressed thin films may result from spatially correlated plastic activity. A soft glassy film strongly adhering to a smooth and rigid…
A Systematic Error in the Internal Friction Measurement of Coatings for Gravitational Waves Detectors
Alex Amato, Diana Lumaca, Elisabetta Cesarini +9
Low internal friction coatings are key components of advanced technologies such as optical atomic clocks and high-finesse optical cavity and often lie at the forefront of the most…
Effects of mixing and annealing on the optical and mechanical properties of TiO:TaO amorphous coatings
Alex Amato, Michele Magnozzi, Nikita Shcheblanov +7
Amorphous mixed titania-tantala coatings are key components of Bragg reflectors in the gravitational wave detectors (GWDs). Attaining the lowest possible values of optical absorpti…
Yield stress aging in attractive colloidal suspensions
Francesco Bonacci, Xavier Chateau, Eric Furst +2
We investigate the origin of yield stress aging in semi-dense, saline, and turbid suspensions in which structural evolution is rapidly arrested by the formation of thermally irreve…
Anomalous Elasticity and Screening in Amorphous Solids
Anaël Lemaître, Chandana Mondal, Michael Moshe +3
Amorphous solids appear to react elastically to small external strains, but in contrast to ideal elastic media, plastic responses abound immediately, at any value of the strain. Su…
Frictional Granular Matter: Protocol Dependence of Mechanical Properties
Anaël Lemaître, Chandana Mondal, Itamar Procaccia +3
Theoretical treatments of frictional granular matter often assume that it is legitimate to invoke classical elastic theory to describe its coarse-grained mechanical properties. Her…
