Universality of the Plastic Instability in Strained Amorphous Solids
Ratul Dasgupta, Smarajit Karmakar, Itamar Procaccia
By comparing the response to external strains in metallic glasses and in Lenard-Jones glasses we find a quantitative universality of the fundamental plastic instabilities in the at…
Exposing the static scale of the glass transition by random pinning
Smarajit Karmakar, Itamar Procaccia
The dramatic slowing down associated with the glass transition cannot be fully understood without an associated static length that is expected to increase rapidly as the temperatur…
An Athermal Brittle to Ductile Transition in Amorphous Solids
Olivier Dauchot, Smarajit Karmakar, Itamar Procaccia +1
Brittle materials exhibit sharp dynamical fractures when meeting Griffith's criterion, whereas ductile materials blunt a sharp crack by plastic responses. Upon continuous pulling d…
Direct Estimate of the Static Length-Scale Accompanying the Glass Transition
Smarajit Karmakar, Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia
Characterizing the glass state remains elusive since its distinction from a liquid state is not obvious. Glasses are liquids whose viscosity has increased so much that they cannot…
Do Athermal Amorphous Solids Exist?
H. G. E. Hentschel, Smarajit Karmakar, Edan Lerner +1
We study the elastic theory of amorphous solids made of particles with finite range interactions in the thermodynamic limit. For the elastic theory to exist one requires all the el…
