Disorder Induced Nonlinear Mode Coupling and Symmetry Breaking in Amorphous Solids

Avanish Kumar, Itamar Procaccia, Murari Singh

Applying very small purely radial strains on amorphous solids in radial geometry one observes elastic responses that break the radial symmetry. Without any plasticity involved, the…

Anomalous Elasticity in Classical Glass-formers

Avanish Kumar, Michael Moshe, Itamar Procaccia +1

Amorphous solids under mechanical strains are prone to plastic responses. Recent work showed that in amorphous granular system these plastic events, that are typically quadrupolar…

Density of Quasi-localized Modes in Glasses: where are the Two-Level Systems?

Avanish Kumar, Itamar Procaccia, Murari Singh

The existence of a constant density of two-level systems (TLS) was proposed as the basis of some intriguing universal aspects of glasses at ultra-low temperatures. Here we ask whet…

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…

Efficient swap algorithms for molecular dynamics simulations of equilibrium supercooled liquids

Ludovic Berthier, Elijah Flenner, Christopher J. Fullerton +2

It was recently demonstrated that a simple Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm involving the swap of particle pairs dramatically accelerates the equilibrium sampling of simulated supercoole…

On the protocol dependence of plasticity in ultra-stable amorphous solids

Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia, Corrado Rainone +1

While perfect crystals may exhibit a purely elastic response to shear all the way to yielding, the response of amorphous solids is punctuated by plastic events. The prevalence of t…
