Shear Transformation Zones: State Determined or Protocol Dependent?
Oleg Gendelman, Prabhat K. Jaiswal, Itamar Procaccia +2
The concept of a Shear Transformation Zone (STZ) refers to a region in an amorphous solid that undergoes a plastic event when the material is put under an external mechanical load.…
Elasticity and Plasticity in Stiff and Flexible Oligomeric Glasses
Oleg Gendelman, H. George E. Hentschel, Pankaj K. Mishra +2
In this paper we focus on the mechanical properties of oligomeric glasses (waxes), employing a microscopic model that provides, via numerical simulations, information about the she…
The Glass Transition in Fluids with Magnetic Interactions
Ricardo Gutierrez, Bhaskar Sen Gupta, Itamar Procaccia
We study the glass transition in fluids where particles are endowed with spins, such that magnetic and positional degrees of freedom are coupled. Novel results for slowing down in…
