Amorphous solids tend to present an abundance of soft elastic modes, which diminish their transport properties, generate heterogeneities in their elastic response, and affect non-linear processes like thermal activation of plasticity. This…
The origin of non-dispersive flat band modes for a quasi-one dimensional square-kagome ladder network is explored analytically by virtue of the real space renormalization group (RSRG) technique. A section of the eigenstates is non-diffusive…
We introduce models of generic rigidity percolation in two dimensions on hierarchical networks, and solve them exactly by means of a renormalization transformation. We then study how the possibility for the network to self organize in order…
We study the dynamical properties of small regulatory networks treated as non autonomous dynamical systems called modules when working inside larger networks or, equivalently when subject to external signal inputs. Particular emphasis is…
The negative thermal expansion (NTE) mechanism in Cu2O has been characterised via mapping of different Cu2O structural flexibility models onto phonons obtained using ab-initio lattice dynamics. Low frequency acoustic modes that are…
The effect of a network of fixed rigid fibers on fluid flow is investigated by means of three-dimensional direct numerical simulations using an immersed boundary method for the fluid-structure coupling. Different flows are considered (i.e.,…
Amorphous silica ($a-SiO_2$) is a widely used inorganic material. Interestingly, the relationship between the local atomic structures of $a-SiO_2$ and their effects on ductility and fracture is seldom explored. Here, we combine large-scale…
We evaluate the density of states of the quenched normal modes of ST2 water, and their statistical fluctuations, for a range of densities spanning three regimes of behavior of a hydrogen bonded liquid: a lower-density regime of random…
In this work, we study the nature of transitions between inherent structures of a two-dimensional model supercooled liquid. We demonstrate that these transitions occur predominately along a small number of directions on the energy…
The intrinsic uncertainty of fluid properties, including the equation of state, viscosity, and thermal conductivity, on boundary layer stability has scarcely been addressed. When a fluid is operating in the vicinity of the Widom line…
Proceeding from the simplest field theoretical model of 2D metal, the normal phase Green functions of the weakly interacting fermions and the order parameter fluctuations (responsible for the attraction between fermions) are obtained. It is…
A random fuse network, or equivalently a two-dimensional spring network with quenched disorder, is subjected to a constant load and thermal noise, and studied by means of numerical simulations. Rupture is thermally activated and the…
This paper presents an alternative approach to the study of distance rigidity in networks of mobile agents, based on a subframework scheme. The advantage of the proposed strategy lies in expressing framework rigidity, which is inherently…
Spatial heterogeneity in the elastic properties of soft random solids is investigated via a two-pronged approach. First, a nonlocal phenomenological model for the elastic free energy is examined. This features a quenched random kernel,…
We study the sliding friction for viscoelastic solids, e.g., rubber, on hard flat substrate surfaces. We consider first the fluctuating shear stress inside a viscoelastic solid which results from the thermal motion of the atoms or molecules…
The theory of complex networks and of disordered systems is used to study the stability and dynamical properties of a simple model of material flow networks defined on random graphs. In particular we address instabilities that are…
We investigate the long time dynamics of a strong glass former, SiO2, below the glass transition temperature by averaging single particle trajectories over time windows which comprise roughly 100 particle oscillations. The structure on this…
The effect of rigid surfaces on the dynamics of thin liquid films which are amenable to the lubrication approximation is considered. It is shown that the Helfrich energy of the layer gives rise to additional terms in the time-evolution…
The deformation kinetics for glassy solid helium confined in microscopic domain at very low temperature regime was investigated using a transition-rate model considering the shear thinning behavior which means, once material being subjected…
A critical issue affecting filamentary resistive random access memory (RRAM) cells is the requirement of high voltages during electroforming. Reducing the magnitude of these voltages is of significant interest, as it ensures compatibility…
