Ideal bulk pressure of active Brownian particles
Thomas Speck, Robert L. Jack
The extent to which active matter might be described by effective equilibrium concepts like temperature and pressure is currently being discussed intensely. Here we study the simpl…
Phase transition for quenched coupled replicas in a plaquette spin model of glasses
Robert L. Jack, Juan P. Garrahan
We study a three-dimensional plaquette spin model whose low temperature dynamics is glassy, due to localised defects and effective kinetic constraints. While the thermodynamics of…
Overlap and activity glass transitions in plaquette spin models with hierarchical dynamics
Robert M. Turner, Robert L. Jack, Juan P. Garrahan
We consider thermodynamic and dynamic phase transitions in plaquette spin models of glasses. The thermodynamic transitions involve coupled (annealed) replicas of the model. We map…
Evidence for a disordered critical point in a glass-forming liquid
Ludovic Berthier, Robert L. Jack
Using computer simulations of an atomistic glass-forming liquid, we investigate the fluctuations of the overlap between a fluid configuration and a quenched reference system. We fi…
Unusual liquid phases for indented colloids with depletion interactions
Douglas J. Ashton, Robert L. Jack, Nigel B. Wilding
We study indented spherical colloids, interacting via depletion forces. These systems exhibit liquid-vapor phase transitions whose properties are determined by a combination of str…
Effective interactions and large deviations in stochastic processes
Robert L. Jack, Peter Sollich
We discuss the relationships between large deviations in stochastic systems, and "effective interactions" that induce particular rare events. We focus on the nature of these effect…
