Geometric indicators of local plasticity in glasses measured by scanning small-beam diffraction
Amelia C. Y. Liu, Huyen Pham, Arabinda Bera +7
The notion of defects in crystalline phases of matter has been extremely powerful for understanding crystal growth, deformation and melting. Many of these discontinuities in the pe…

Linking molecular timescales to linear viscoelastic response in dilute and semidilute unentangled wormlike micelle solutions
Avishek Kumar, Rico F Tabor, P. Sunthar +1
Unentangled wormlike micelle solutions relax stress through a dynamic interplay of reversible scission and intrachain relaxation involving a hierarchy of molecular timescales whose…

A mesoscopic model for the rheology of dilute and semidilute solutions of wormlike micelles
Avishek Kumar, Rico F. Tabor, P. Sunthar +1
The concept of a `persistent worm' is introduced, representing the smallest possible length of a wormlike micelle, and modelled by a bead-spring chain with sticky beads at the ends…
