We propose a numerical model to study the viscoplastic deformation of ice single crystals. We consider long-range elastic interactions among dislocations, the possibility of mutual annihilation, and a multiplication mechanism representing…
To develop a dislocation-based statistical continuum theory of crystal plasticity is a major challenge of materials science.During the last two decades such a theory has been developed for the time evolution of a system of parallel edge…

We study nonequilibrium critical relaxation properties of systems with quenched extended defects, correlated in $\epsilon_d$ dimensions and randomly distributed in the remaining $d-\epsilon_d$ dimensions. Using a field-theoretic…

We consider relaxation processes that exhibit a stretched exponential behavior. We find that in those systems, where the relaxation arises from two competing exponential processes, the size of the system may play a dominant role. Above a…
The decay of a moving system is studied in case the system is initially prepared in a two-mass unstable quantum state. The survival probability $\mathcal{P}_p(t)$ is evaluated over short and long times in the reference frame where the…

We discuss the effects of a trapping space-dependent potential on the critical dynamics of lattice gas models. Scaling arguments provide a dynamic trap-size scaling framework to describe how critical dynamics develops in the large trap-size…
The steady state reached by a system of particles sliding down a fluctuating surface has interesting properties. Particle clusters form and break rapidly, leading to a broad distribution of sizes and large fluctuations. The density-density…
Universal scaling laws of fluctuations (the $\Delta$-scaling laws) can be derived for equilibrium and off-equilibrium systems when combined with the finite-size scaling analysis. In any system in which the second-order critical behavior can…
We study the relaxation of the bi-dimensional kinetically constrained spiral model. We show that due to the reversibility of the dynamic rules any unblocked state fully decorrelates in finite times irrespectively of the system being in the…
We study the universal dynamical relaxation behaviors of a quantum XY chain following a quench, paying special attention to the case that the prequenched Hamiltonian, or the postquenched Hamiltonian, or both of them are at critical points…
We consider a class of zero-range processes exhibiting a condensation transition in the stationary state, with a critical single-site distribution decaying faster than a power law. We present the analytical study of the coarsening dynamics…
The dynamic properties of a classical tracer particle in a random, disordered medium are investigated close to the localization transition. For Lorentz models obeying Newtonian and diffusive motion at the microscale, we have performed…
The unjamming transition of granular systems is investigated in a seismic fault model via three dimensional Molecular Dynamics simulations. A two--time force--force correlation function, and a susceptibility related to the system response…
We investigate the short time quantum critical dynamics in the imaginary time relaxation processes of finite size systems. Universal scaling behaviors exist in the imaginary time evolution and in particular, the system undergoes a critical…
We study Barkhausen noise in a diluted two-dimensional Ising model with the extended domain wall and weak random fields occurring due to coarse graining. We report two types of scaling behavior corresponding to (a) low disorder regime where…
Within the continuum dislocation theory the asymptotic analysis of the plane strain crack problem for a single crystal having only one active slip system on each half-plane is provided. The results of this asymptotic analysis show that the…
Predicting the future behaviour of complex systems exhibiting critical-like dynamics is often considered to be an intrinsically hard task. Here, we study the predictability of the depinning dynamics of elastic interfaces in random media…
