Amorphous solids have excess soft modes in addition to the phonon modes described by the Debye theory. Recent numerical results show that if the phonon modes are carefully removed, the density of state of the excess soft modes exhibit…

Equilibrium and nonequilibrium states of matter can exhibit fundamentally different behavior. A key example is the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class in two spatial dimensions (2D KPZ), where microscopic deviations from equilibrium give…

Scaling of the mean velocity profiles has been studied by many researchers, since it provides a template of universal dynamical patterns across a range of Reynolds numbers. Various normalization schemes have been shown in the past, some…
