Effect of molecular constraints on vibrational and quasilocalized excitations in glasses
Keane Ramdin, Edan Lerner
Recent years have seen substantial progress in elucidating the statistical physics of the vibrational properties of structural glasses. Although many real-world glasses relevant fo…
A method for measuring the dispersion of elastic waves in disordered computer-solids

Understanding the statistical mechanics of low-energy excitations in structural glasses has been the focus of extensive research efforts in the past decades due to their key roles…
Enumerating low-frequency nonphononic vibrations in computer glasses
Edan Lerner, Avraham Moriel, Eran Bouchbinder
In addition to Goldstone phonons that generically emerge in the low-frequency vibrational spectrum of any solid, crystalline or glassy, structural glasses also feature other low-fr…
Elementary processes in dilatational plasticity of glasses
Avraham Moriel, David Richard, Edan Lerner +1
Materials typically fail under complex stress states, essentially involving dilatational (volumetric) components that eventually lead to material decohesion/separation. It is there…
Auxetic Granular Metamaterials
Daan Haver, Daniel Acuña, Shahram Janbaz +3
The flowing, jamming and avalanche behavior of granular materials is satisfyingly universal and vexingly hard to tune: a granular flow is typically intermittent and will irremediab…
Scaling regimes and fluctuations of observables in computer glasses approaching the unjamming transition
Julia A. Giannini, Edan Lerner, Francesco Zamponi +1
Under decompression, disordered solids undergo an unjamming transition where they become under-coordinated and lose their structural rigidity. The mechanical and vibrational proper…

Disordered elastic networks provide a framework for describing a wide variety of physical systems, ranging from amorphous solids, through polymeric fibrous materials to confluent c…
Ultrahigh Poisson's ratio glasses
Edan Lerner
The manner in which metallic glasses fail under external loading is known to correlate well with those glasses' Poisson's ratio : low- (compressible) glasses typically featur…
