The search for scale-bridging relations in the deformation of amorphous materials presents
a current challenge with tremendous applications in material science, engineering and …

To distinguish between order and disorder is of fundamental importance to understanding
solids. It becomes more significant with recent observations that solids with high structural …

Amphiphiles self-assemble into a variety of bicontinuous mesophases whose equilibrium
structures take the form of high-symmetry cubic networks. Here, we show that the symmetry …

Continuum modeling of finite temperature mechanical behavior of atomic systems requires
refined description of atomic motions. In this paper, we identify additional kinematical …

Certain localised displacement fluctuations in the planar honeycomb lattice may be
identified as precursors to topological defects. We show that these fluctuations are among …

The influence of loading upon the phonon dispersion of crystalline materials could be highly
nonlinear with certain particular trends that depend upon the loading path. In this paper, we …

We demonstrate that plastic deformation in solids is associated with a dynamic transition that
is reminiscent to the transition from a superconducting to a mixed phase in Type II …

A generic aggregate forming system in two dimensions (2D) is studied using canonical
ensemble constant temperature molecular dynamics simulation. The aggregates form due to …
