Hidden Order Beyond Hyperuniformity in Critical Absorbing States
Yuanjian Zheng, Anshul D. S. Parmar, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
Disordered hyperuniformity is a description of hidden correlations in point distributions revealed by an anomalous suppression in fluctuations of local density at various coarse-gr…
Transition from Static to Dynamic Friction in an Array of Frictional Disks
Harish Charan, Joyjit Chattoraj, Massimo Pica Ciamarra +1
The nature of an instability that controls the transition from static to dynamical friction is studied in the the context of an array of frictional disks that are pressed from abov…
Hyperuniformity and generalized fluctuations at Jamming
Yuanjian Zheng, Yan-Wei Li, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
The suppression of density fluctuations at different length scales is the hallmark of hyperuniformity. However, its existence and significance in jammed solids is still a matter of…
Synchronized oscillations and acoustic fluidization in confined granular materials
F. Giacco, L. de Arcangelis, M. Pica Ciamarra +1
According to the acoustic fluidization hypothesis, elastic waves at a characteristic frequency form inside seismic faults even in the absence of an external perturbation. These wav…
Role of cell deformability in the two-dimensional melting of biological tissues
Yan-Wei Li, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
The size and shape of a large variety of polymeric particles, including biological cells, star polymers, dendrimes, and microgels, depend on the applied stresses as the particles a…
Unifying description of the damping regimes of a stochastic particle in a periodic potential
Antonio Piscitelli, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
We analyze the classical problem of the stochastic dynamics of a particle confined in a periodic potential, through the so called Il'in and Khasminskii model, with a novel semi-ana…
