We present the mechanics of a model of supersolid in the frame of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation at $T=0K$ that do not require defects nor vacancies. A set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations plus boundary conditions is…

A supersolid is a system that presents long-range order and shear rigidity as a solid but which also supports a non-dissipative superflow as a superfluid. From an effective perspective, supersolids are identified with phases of matter that…

A supersolid is a counter-intuitive state of matter that combines the frictionless flow of a superfluid with the crystal-like periodic density modulation of a solid. Since the first prediction in the 1950s, experimental efforts to realize…

Disordered solids exhibit unusual properties of their vibrational states and thermal conductivities. Recent progresses have well established the concept of "elastic heterogeneity", i.e., disordered materials show spatially inhomogeneous…
It is known by now that amorphous solids at zero temperature do not possess a nonlinear elasticity theory: besides the shear modulus which exists, all the higher order coefficients do not exist in the thermodynamic limit. Here we show that…
Amorphous solids are dynamically inhomogeneous due to in lack of translational symmetry and hence exhibit vibrational properties different from crystalline solids with anomalous low frequency vibrational density of states (VDOS) and related…
Supersolids are theoretically predicted quantum states that break the continuous rotational and translational symmetries of liquids while preserving superfluid transport properties. Over the last decade, much progress has been made in…
