Nonlinear quasilocalized excitations in glasses. I. True representatives of soft spots
Geert Kapteijns, David Richard, Edan Lerner
Structural glasses formed by quenching a melt possess a population of soft quasilocalized excitations --- often called `soft spots' --- that are believed to play a key role in vari…
Finite-size effects in the nonphononic density of states in computer glasses
Edan Lerner
The universal form of the density of nonphononic, quasilocalized vibrational modes of frequency in structural glasses, , was predicted theoretically decades ago, b…
Pinching a glass reveals key properties of its soft spots
Corrado Rainone, Eran Bouchbinder, Edan Lerner
It is now well established that glasses feature quasilocalized nonphononic excitations --- coined "soft spots"---, which follow a universal density of states in the limit of…
Characterizing nonaffinity upon decompression of soft-sphere packings
Stefan Kooij, Edan Lerner
Athermal elastic moduli of soft sphere packings are known to exhibit universal scaling properties near the unjamming point, most notably the vanishing of the shear-to-bulk moduli r…
Wave attenuation in glasses: Rayleigh and generalized-Rayleigh scattering scaling
Avraham Moriel, Geert Kapteijns, Corrado Rainone +3
The attenuation of long-wavelength phonons (waves) by glassy disorder plays a central role in various glass anomalies, yet it is neither fully characterized, nor fully understood.…
Rigidity and auxeticity transitions in networks with strong bond-bending interactions
Robbie Rens, Edan Lerner
A widely-studied model for gels or biopolymeric fibrous materials are networks with central force interactions, such as Hookean springs. Less commonly studied are materials whose m…
Non-reciprocal robotic metamaterials
Martin Brandenbourger, Xander Locsin, Edan Lerner +1
Non-reciprocal transmission of motion is potentially highly beneficial to a wide range of applications, ranging from wave guiding, to shock and vibration damping and energy harvest…
Finite-size effects on sound damping in stable computer glasses
Corrado Rainone, Avraham Moriel, Geert Kapteijns +2
In this brief note we comment on the recent results presented in arXiv:1812.08736v1
Mechanical properties of simple computer glasses
Edan Lerner
Recent advances in computational glass physics enable the study of computer glasses featuring a very wide range of mechanical and kinetic stabilities. The current literature, howev…
Anisotropic Structural Predictor in Glassy Materials
Zohar Schwartzman-Nowik, Edan Lerner, Eran Bouchbinder
There is a growing evidence that relaxation in glassy materials, both spontaneous and externally driven, is mediated by localized soft spots. Recent progress made it possible to id…
