Mechanical loss in amorphous solids: spatial correlations, interacting transitions, and annealed thermodynamic pathways
Steven Blaber, Jörg Rottler
The disordered and defect-rich structure of amorphous solids forms heterogeneous, high-dimensional energy landscapes. Such an energy landscape can be described by a discrete-state…

Connected Network Model for the Mechanical Loss of Amorphous Materials
Steven Blaber, Daniel Bruns, Jörg Rottler
Dissipation in amorphous solids at low frequencies is commonly attributed to activated transitions of isolated two-level systems (TLS) that come in resonance with elastic or electr…
