Ductile-to-brittle transition and yielding in soft amorphous materials: perspectives and open questions
Thibaut Divoux, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Stefano Aime +37
Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical e…
Shear-Induced Phase Behavior and Topological Defects in Two-Dimensional Crystals
Federico Ghimenti, Misaki Ozawa, Giulio Biroli +1
We investigate through numerical simulations how a two-dimensional crystal yields and flows under an applied shear. We focus over a range that allows us to both address the respons…
Interplay of vitrification and ice formation in a cryoprotectant aqueous solution at low temperature
Christiane Alba-Simionesco, Patrick Judeinstein, Stéphane Longeville +4
The proneness of water to crystallize is a major obstacle to understanding its putative exotic behavior in the supercooled state. It also represents a strong practical limitation t…
Nonperturbative fluctuations and metastability in a simple model: from observables to microscopic theory and back
Charlotte Rulquin, Pierfrancesco Urbani, Giulio Biroli +2
Slow dynamics in glassy systems is often interpreted as due to thermally activated events between "metastable" states. This emphasizes the role of nonperturbative fluctuations, whi…
