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

A remarkable feature of disordered solids distinct from crystals is the violation of the Debye
scaling law of the low-frequency vibrational density of states. Because the low-frequency …

The frequency scaling exponent of low-frequency excitations in microscopically small
glasses, which do not allow for the existence of waves (phonons), has been in the focus of …

Ionogels are a promising family of soft, conducting materials having, high ionic conductivity
and wide operating temperature. 3D printing is an enabling technology undergoing …

Glasses feature universally low-frequency excess vibrational modes beyond Debye
prediction, which could help rationalize, eg, the glasses' unusual temperature dependence …

Zintl compounds are potential candidates for thermoelectric (TE) materials because of their
excellent electronic transport combined with low thermal conductivity. We have …

We present a mathematical description of amorphous solid deformation and plasticity by
extending the concept of instantaneous normal modes (INMs) to deformed systems, which …

The theoretical understanding of the low-frequency modes in amorphous solids at finite
temperature is still incomplete. The study of the relevant modes is obscured by the dressing …

We show through simulations of amorphous solids prepared in open-boundary conditions
that they possess significantly fewer low-frequency vibrational modes compared to their …
