Slow and Long-ranged Dynamical Heterogeneities in Dissipative Fluids
Karina E. Avila, Horacio E. Castillo, Katharina Vollmayr-Lee +1
A two-dimensional bidisperse granular fluid is shown to exhibit pronounced long-ranged dynamical heterogeneities as dynamical arrest is approached. Here we focus on the most direct…
Temperature-Dependent Defect Dynamics in the Network Glass SiO2
Katharina Vollmayr-Lee, Annette Zippelius
We investigate the long time dynamics of a strong glass former, SiO2, below the glass transition temperature by averaging single particle trajectories over time windows which compr…
Force-extension relation of cross-linked anisotropic polymer networks
Panayotis Benetatos, Stephan Ulrich, Annette Zippelius
Cross-linked polymer networks with orientational order constitute a wide class of soft materials and are relevant to biological systems (e.g., F-actin bundles). We analytically stu…
Soft random solids and their heterogeneous elasticity
Xiaoming Mao, Paul M. Goldbart, Xiangjun Xing +1
Spatial heterogeneity in the elastic properties of soft random solids is examined via vulcanization theory. The spatial heterogeneity in the \emph{structure} of soft random solids…
Elastic heterogeneity of soft random solids
Xiaoming Mao, Paul M. Goldbart, Xiangjun Xing +1
Spatial heterogeneity in the elastic properties of soft random solids is investigated via a two-pronged approach. First, a nonlocal phenomenological model for the elastic free ener…
Heterogeneities in the Glassy State
Katharina Vollmayr-Lee, Annette Zippelius
We study heterogeneities in a binary Lennard-Jones system below the glass transition using molecular dynamics simulations. We identify mobile and immobile particles and measure the…
