Universal scaling for disordered viscoelastic matter near the onset of rigidity

DB Liarte, SJ Thornton, E Schwen, I Cohen… - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
The onset of rigidity in interacting liquids, as they undergo a transition to a disordered solid,
is associated with a rearrangement of the low-frequency vibrational spectrum. In this Letter …

Universal scaling solution for a rigidity transition: renormalization group flows near the upper critical dimension

SJ Thornton, DB Liarte, I Cohen, JP Sethna - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters,
like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimensions by …
