Measuring, characterizing and modelling the slow dynamics of glassy soft matter is a great challenge, with an impact that ranges from industrial applications to fundamental issues in modern statistical physics, such as the glass transition…
The recent torsional oscillator results of Kim and Chan suggest a supersolid phase transition in solid 4He. We have used a piezoelectrically driven diaphragm to study the flow of solid helium through an array of capillaries. Our…
In this work, the normal modes of a two-dimensional oscillating system have been studied from a theoretical and experimental point of view. The normal frequencies predicted by the Hessian matrix for a coupled two-dimensional particle system…
We describe the design and performance of a new rotating dilution refrigerator that will primarily be used for investigating the dynamics of quantized vortices in superfluid 4He. All equipment required to operate the refrigerator and…
Quantum two-level systems (TLSs) intrinsic to glasses induce decoherence in many modern quantum devices, such as superconducting qubits. Although the low-temperature physics of these TLSs is usually well-explained by a phenomenological…
Superfluid helium, the inviscid low-temperature phase of liquid \4He, enables investigation of flows with reduced dimensionality since, due to the vanishing viscosity, sub-micron flow channels can be constructed. In such strongly confined…
The glass is a disordered solid that processes distinct dynamical and elastic properties compared with crystal. How heterogeneous glassy materials can be and to what extent dynamics is encoded with structure and elasticity are long-standing…
Low-frequency vibrations of glassy and crystalline orthoterphenyl are studied by means of neutron scattering. Phonon dispersions are measured along the main axes of a single crystal, and the corresponding longitudinal and transversal sound…
We summarize the salient features of our theory of non-phononic vibrational excitations in glasses [W. Schirmacher et al., Nature Comm. 15, 3107 (2024)]. Next, we provide further evidence of the non-universality of the $\omega^4$ scaling of…
Molecules immersed in liquid helium are excellent probes of superfluidity. Their electronic, vibrational and rotational dynamics provide valuable clues about the superfluid at the nanoscale. Here we report on the experimental study of the…
Torsional oscillator experiments show evidence of mass decoupling in solid 4He. This decoupling is amplitude dependent, suggesting a critical velocity for supersolidity. We observe similar behavior in the elastic shear modulus. By measuring…
Using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations for a system of $10^6$ particles, the response of a dense amorphous solid to the continuous expansion of its volume is investigated. We find that the spatially uniform glassy state becomes…
In order to explore the properties of a two-sublattice ferroelectric, we measured the infrared and Raman scattering response of CuInP2S6 across the ferroelectric and glassy transitions and compared our findings to a symmetry analysis,…
We thoroughly investigate vibrational quantum dynamics of dimers attached to He droplets motivated by recent measurements with K-2 [1]. For those femtosecond pump-probe experiments, crucial observed features are not reproduced by gas phase…
Quantum oscillations, conventionally thought to be a metallic property, have recently been shown to arise in certain kinds of insulators, with properties very different from those in metals. All departures from the canonical behavior found…
The glassy dynamics of dense active matter have recently become a topic of interest due to their importance in biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development. However, while the liquid-state properties of dense active…
High harmonic generation (HHG) is a powerful probe of electron dynamics on attosecond to femtosecond timescales and has been successfully used to detect electronic and structural changes in solid-state quantum materials, including…
We conduct experiments on two-dimensional packings of colloidal thermosensitive hydrogel particles whose packing fraction can be tuned above the jamming transition by varying the temperature. By measuring displacement correlations between…
Two-component Bose condensates with repulsive interaction are stable when $g_{\rm \scriptscriptstyle 1} g_{\rm \scriptscriptstyle 2}<g_{\rm \scriptscriptstyle 12}^{2}$ is satisfied. By tuning the interactions, we show that the instability…
A semi-phenomenological model of a many-particle system of 4He atoms is proposed, in which a helium atom is considered as a complex consisting of a nucleus and a bound pair of electrons in the singlet state. At zero temperature, there are…
