Finite-size study of the athermal quasistatic yielding transition in structural glasses
Richard David, Rainone Corrado, Lerner Edan
We present a finite-size study of the athermal quasistatic yielding transition in structural glasses featuring a wide range of mechanical disorder. We find a crossover from gradual…
Low-frequency vibrational spectrum of mean-field disordered systems
Eran Bouchbinder, Edan Lerner, Corrado Rainone +2
We study a recently introduced and exactly solvable mean-field model for the density of vibrational states of a structurally disordered system. The model is formul…
Mean-field model of interacting quasilocalized excitations in glasses
Corrado Rainone, Pierfrancesco Urbani, Francesco Zamponi +2
Structural glasses feature quasilocalized excitations whose frequencies follow a universal density of states . Yet, the underlying physics behind this u…
Statistical mechanics of local force dipole responses in computer glasses
Corrado Rainone, Eran Bouchbinder, Edan Lerner
Soft quasilocalized modes (QLMs) are universally featured by structural glasses quenched from a melt, and are supposedly involved in a number of glassy anomalies such as the low te…
Pinching a glass reveals key properties of its soft spots
Corrado Rainone, Eran Bouchbinder, Edan Lerner
It is now well established that glasses feature quasilocalized nonphononic excitations --- coined "soft spots"---, which follow a universal density of states in the limit of…
Wave attenuation in glasses: Rayleigh and generalized-Rayleigh scattering scaling
Avraham Moriel, Geert Kapteijns, Corrado Rainone +3
The attenuation of long-wavelength phonons (waves) by glassy disorder plays a central role in various glass anomalies, yet it is neither fully characterized, nor fully understood.…
