Front propagation in ultrastable glasses is dynamically heterogeneous
Cecilia Herrero, Mark D. Ediger, Ludovic Berthier
Upon heating, ultrastable glassy films transform into liquids via a propagating equilibration front, resembling the heterogeneous melting of crystals. A microscopic understanding o…
Two-dimensional crystals far from equilibrium
Leonardo Galliano, Michael E. Cates, Ludovic Berthier
When driven by nonequilibrium fluctuations, particle systems may display phase transitions and physical behaviour with no equilibrium counterpart. We study a two-dimensional partic…
Are supercooled liquids Fickian yet non Gaussian?
Ludovic Berthier, Elijah Flenner, Grzegorz Szamel
Comment on `Fickian Non-Gaussian Diffusion in Glass-Forming Liquids', by Rusciano et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 168001 (2022). In a recent Letter, Rusciano et al. examined the stat…
Two-step devitrification of ultrastable glasses
Cecilia Herrero, Camille Scalliet, M. D. Ediger +1
The discovery of ultrastable glasses has raised novel challenges about glassy systems. Recent experiments studied the macroscopic devitrification of ultrastable glasses into liquid…
Modern computational studies of the glass transition
Ludovic Berthier, David R. Reichman
The physics of the glass transition and amorphous materials continues to attract the attention of a wide research community after decades of effort. Supercooled liquids and glasses…
Is glass a state of matter?
Benjamin Guiselin, Gilles Tarjus, Ludovic Berthier
Glass is everywhere. We use and are surrounded by glass objects which make tangible the reality of glass as a distinct state of matter. Yet, glass as we know it is usually obtained…
Computer simulations of the glass transition and glassy materials
Jean-Louis Barrat, Ludovic Berthier
We provide an overview of the different types of computational techniques developed over the years to study supercooled liquids, glassy materials and the physics of the glass trans…
Violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and effective temperatures in spin ice
Valentin Raban, Ludovic Berthier, Peter C. W. Holdsworth
We present numerical tests of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) in the dumbbell model of spin ice with parameters suitable for dysprosium titanate. The tests are made for l…
Relaxation dynamics in the energy landscape of glass-forming liquids
Yoshihiko Nishikawa, Misaki Ozawa, Atsushi Ikeda +2
We numerically study the zero-temperature relaxation dynamics of several glass-forming models to their inherent structures, following quenches from equilibrium configurations sampl…
Statistical mechanics of coupled supercooled liquids in finite dimensions
Benjamin Guiselin, Ludovic Berthier, Gilles Tarjus
We study the statistical mechanics of supercooled liquids when the system evolves at a temperature with a field linearly coupled to its overlap with a reference configurati…
Self-induced heterogeneity in deeply supercooled liquids
Ludovic Berthier
A theoretical treatment of deeply supercooled liquids is difficult because their properties emerge from spatial inhomogeneities that are self-induced, transient, and nanoscopic. I…
On the overlap between configurations in glassy liquids
Benjamin Guiselin, Gilles Tarjus, Ludovic Berthier
The overlap, or similarity, between liquid configurations is at the core of the mean-field description of the glass transition, and remains a useful concept when studying three-dim…
Stable glassy configurations of the Kob-Andersen model using swap Monte Carlo
Anshul D. S. Parmar, Benjamin Guiselin, Ludovic Berthier
The swap Monte Carlo algorithm allows the preparation of highly stable glassy configurations for a number of glass-formers, but is inefficient for some models, such as the much stu…
Glasses and aging: A Statistical Mechanics Perspective
Francesco Arceri, François P. Landes, Ludovic Berthier +1
We review the field of the glass transition, glassy dynamics and aging from a statistical mechanics perspective. We give a brief introduction to the subject and explain the main ph…
Random-field Ising model criticality in a glass-forming liquid
Benjamin Guiselin, Ludovic Berthier, Gilles Tarjus
We use computer simulations to investigate the extended phase diagram of a supercooled liquid linearly coupled to a quenched reference configuration. An extensive finite-size scali…
Ultrastable metallic glasses in silico
Anshul D. S. Parmar, Misaki Ozawa, Ludovic Berthier
We develop a generic strategy and simple numerical models for multi-component metallic glasses for which the swap Monte Carlo algorithm can produce highly stable equilibrium config…
Analogies between growing dense active matter and soft driven glasses
Elsen Tjhung, Ludovic Berthier
We develop a minimal model to describe growing dense active matter such as biological tissues, bacterial colonies and biofilms, that are driven by a competition between particle di…
Finite-dimensional vestige of spinodal criticality above the dynamical glass transition
Ludovic Berthier, Patrick Charbonneau, Joyjit Kundu
Finite-dimensional signatures of spinodal criticality are notoriously difficult to come by. The dynamical transition of glass-forming liquids, first described by mode-coupling theo…
Brittle yielding of amorphous solids at finite shear rates
Murari Singh, Misaki Ozawa, Ludovic Berthier
Amorphous solids display a ductile to brittle transition as the kinetic stability of the quiescent glass is increased, which leads to a material failure controlled by the sudden em…
Lectures on non-equilibrium active systems
Ludovic Berthier, Jorge Kurchan
These notes are based on lectures given during the Summer School `Active matter and non-equilibrium statistical physics', held in Les Houches in September 2018. In these notes, we…
Does the Adam-Gibbs relation hold in simulated supercooled liquids?
Misaki Ozawa, Camille Scalliet, Andrea Ninarello +1
We perform stringent tests of thermodynamic theories of the glass transition over the experimentally relevant temperature regime for several simulated glass-formers. The swap Monte…
