Interplay between an absorbing phase transition and synchronization in a driven granular system

R. Maire, A. Plati, M. Stockinger +3

Absorbing phase transitions (APTs) are widespread in non-equilibrium systems, spanning condensed matter, epidemics, earthquakes, ecology, and chemical reactions. APTs feature an ab…

Quasi-crystalline order in vibrated granular matter

Andrea Plati, Raphael Maire, Etienne Fayen +4

Quasi-crystals are aperiodic structures that present crystallographic properties which are not compatible with that of a single unit cell. Their revolutionary discovery in a metall…

A hard-sphere quasicrystal stabilized by configurational entropy

Etienne Fayen, Laura Filion, Giuseppe Foffi +1

Due to their aperiodic nature, quasicrystals are one of the least understood phases in statistical physics. One significant complication they present in comparison to their periodi…

Self-assembly of dodecagonal and octagonal quasicrystals in hard spheres on a plane

Etienne Fayen, Marianne Impéror-Clerc, Laura Filion +2

Quasicrystals are fascinating structures, characterized by strong positional order but lacking the periodicity of a crystal. In colloidal systems, quasicrystals are typically predi…

Correlation between plastic rearrangements and local structure in a cyclically driven glass

Saheli Mitra, Susana Marin-Aguilar, Srikanth Sastry +2

The correlation between local structure and the propensity for structural rearrangements has been widely investigated in glass forming liquids and glasses. In this paper we use the…

Stiffening attractive suspensions with solid inclusions or granularity effect in loaded colloidal gels

Claudia Ferreiro-Córdova, Giuseppe Foffi, Olivier Pitois +3

The elastic properties of a soft matter material can be greatly altered by the presence of solid inclusions whose microscopic properties, such as their size and interactions, can h…
