Does the Sastry transition control cavitation in simple liquids?
Caitlin M. Gish, Kai Nan, Robert S. Hoy
We examine the Sastry (athermal cavitation) transitions for model monatomic liquids interacting via Lennard-Jones as well as shorter- and longer-ranged pair potentials. Low-tempera…

Two-stage athermal solidification of semiflexible polymers and fibers
Joseph D. Dietz, Robert S. Hoy
We study how solidification of model freely rotating polymers under athermal quasistatic compression varies with their bond angle . All systems undergo two discrete, first-ord…

Unified analytic expressions for the entanglement length, tube diameter, and plateau modulus of polymer melts
Robert S. Hoy, Martin Kröger
By combining molecular dynamics simulations and topological analyses with scaling arguments, we obtain analytic expressions that quantitatively predict the entanglement length $N_e…
