Competition between entropy and energy in network glass: the hidden connection between intermediate phase and liquid-liquid transition
J. Quetzalcoatl Toledo-Marin, Le Yan
In network glass including chalcogenides, the network topology of microscopic structures can be tuned by changing the chemical compositions. As the composition is varied, an interm…
Mechanics of allostery: contrasting the induced fit and population shift scenarios
Riccardo Ravasio, Solange Flatt, Le Yan +3
In allosteric proteins, binding a ligand can affect function at a distant location, for example by changing the binding affinity of a substrate at the active site. The induced fit…
On the Dynamics of Glassy Systems
Le Yan
Glassy systems are disordered systems characterized by extremely slow dynamics. Examples are supercooled liquids, whose dynamics slow down under cooling. The specific pattern of sl…
On Variational Arguments for Vibrational Modes near Jamming
Le Yan, Eric DeGiuli, Matthieu Wyart
Amorphous solids tend to present an abundance of soft elastic modes, which diminish their transport properties, generate heterogeneities in their elastic response, and affect non-l…
