Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

The structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

The understanding of the basic physical relationships between nano-scale structural
variables and the macroscale properties of polymer nanocomposites remains in its infancy …

The low-frequency vibrational and low-temperature thermal properties of amorphous solids
are markedly different from those of crystalline solids. This situation is counterintuitive …

We have studied how two-and three-dimensional systems made up of particles interacting
with finite range, repulsive potentials jam (ie, develop a yield stress in a disordered state) at …

Amorphous materials as diverse as foams, emulsions, colloidal suspensions and granular
media can jam into a rigid, disordered state where they withstand finite shear stresses …

Supercooled liquids and glasses are important for current and developing technologies.
Here we provide perspective on recent progress in this field. The interpretation of …

Room temperature (TR) elastic constants and compressive yield strengths of∼ 30 metallic
glasses reveal an average shear limit γ C= 0.0267±0.0020, where τ Y= γ CG is the …

We present results on a series of two-dimensional atomistic computer simulations of
amorphous systems subjected to simple shear in the athermal, quasistatic limit. The …

Glassy solids exhibit a wide variety of generic thermomechanical properties, ranging from
universal anomalous specific heat at cryogenic temperatures to nonlinear plastic yielding …
