Predicting dynamic heterogeneity in glass-forming liquids by physics-inspired machine learning

G Jung, G Biroli, L Berthier - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We introduce GlassMLP, a machine learning framework using physics-inspired structural
input to predict the long-time dynamics in deeply supercooled liquids. We apply this deep …

Scaling description of dynamical heterogeneity and avalanches of relaxation in glass-forming liquids

A Tahaei, G Biroli, M Ozawa, M Popović, M Wyart - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
We provide a theoretical description of dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids,
based on the premise that relaxation occurs via local rearrangements coupled by elasticity …

Elasticity, facilitation, and dynamic heterogeneity in glass-forming liquids

M Ozawa, G Biroli - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We study the role of elasticity-induced facilitation on the dynamics of glass-forming liquids by
a coarse-grained two-dimensional model in which local relaxation events, taking place by …

Roadmap on machine learning glassy dynamics

Intermittent relaxation and avalanches in extremely persistent active matter

YE Keta, R Mandal, P Sollich, RL Jack, L Berthier - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
We use numerical simulations to study the dynamics of dense assemblies of self-propelled
particles in the limit of extremely large, but finite, persistence times. In this limit, the system …

Metastable liquid properties and surface flow patterns of ultrahigh temperature alloys explored in outer space

H Wang, L Hu, W Xie, J Chang, C Zheng… - Angewandte Chemie …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The metastable liquid properties and chemical bonds beyond 2000 K remain a huge
challenge for ground‐based research on liquid materials chemistry. We show the strong …

Testing Theories of the Glass Transition with the Same Liquid but Many Kinetic Rules

C Gavazzoni, C Brito, M Wyart - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We study the glass transition by exploring a broad class of kinetic rules that can significantly
modify the normal dynamics of supercooled liquids while maintaining thermal equilibrium …

History dependent plasticity of glass: A mapping between atomistic and elasto-plastic models

DF Castellanos, S Roux, S Patinet - Acta Materialia, 2022 - Elsevier
Mesoscale elasto-plastic models, with statistically distributed structural properties and elastic

Detecting low-energy quasilocalized excitations in computer glasses

D Richard, G Kapteijns, E Lerner - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Soft, quasilocalized excitations (QLEs) are known to generically emerge in a broad class of
disordered solids and to govern many facets of the physics of glasses, from wave …
