A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

Memory formation in matter is a theme of broad intellectual relevance; it sits at the
interdisciplinary crossroads of physics, biology, chemistry, and computer science. Memory …

We review the depinning and nonequilibrium phases of collectively interacting particle
systems driven over random or periodic substrates. This type of system is relevant to vortices …

Amorphous solids are ubiquitous among natural and man-made materials. Often used as
structural materials for their attractive mechanical properties, their utility depends critically on …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of a glass preparation
on its yielding transition under oscillatory shear. We use swap Monte Carlo to investigate a …

The physical processes governing the onset of yield, where a material changes its shape
permanently under external deformation, are not yet understood for amorphous solids that …

We use computer simulations to analyze the yielding transition during large-amplitude
oscillatory shear of a simple model for soft jammed solids. Simultaneous analysis of global …

We show that memory can be encoded in a model amorphous solid subjected to athermal
oscillatory shear deformations, and in an analogous spin model with disordered interactions …

At the microscopic level, plastic flow of a jammed, disordered material consists of a series of
particle rearrangements that cannot be reversed by subsequent deformation. An …

The emergence of particle irreversibility in periodically driven colloidal suspensions has
been interpreted as resulting either from a nonequilibrium phase transition to an absorbing …
