emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range …

The role of local structure in dynamical arrest

CP Royall, SR Williams - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

Evolution of hidden localized flow during glass-to-liquid transition in metallic glass

Z Wang, BA Sun, HY Bai, WH Wang - Nature Communications, 2014 - nature.com
For glasses, the structural origin of their flow phenomena, such as elastic and plastic
deformations especially the microscopic hidden flow before yield and glass-to-liquid …

Connecting local yield stresses with plastic activity in amorphous solids

S Patinet, D Vandembroucq, ML Falk - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
In model amorphous solids produced via differing quench protocols, a strong correlation is
established between local yield stress measured by direct local probing of shear stress …

Scaling description of the yielding transition in soft amorphous solids at zero temperature

J Lin, E Lerner, A Rosso… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Yield stress materials flow if a sufficiently large shear stress is applied. Although such

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 …

Elastically cooperative activated barrier hopping theory of relaxation in viscous fluids. I. General formulation and application to hard sphere fluids

S Mirigian, KS Schweizer - The Journal of chemical physics, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
We generalize the force-level nonlinear Langevin equation theory of single particle hopping
to include collective effects associated with long range elastic distortion of the liquid. The …

Elastically cooperative activated barrier hopping theory of relaxation in viscous fluids. II. Thermal liquids

S Mirigian, KS Schweizer - The Journal of chemical physics, 2014 - pubs.aip.org

Solid-that-Flows Picture of Glass-Forming Liquids

JC Dyre - The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2024 - ACS Publications
This perspective article reviews arguments that glass-forming liquids are different from those
of standard liquid-state theory, which typically have a viscosity in the mPa· s range and …

Structural relaxation is a scale-free process

A Lemaître - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We show that in deeply supercooled liquids, structural relaxation proceeds via the
accumulation of Eshelby events, ie local rearrangements that create long-ranged and …
