We study dissipation in Pd nano-mechanical resonators at low temperatures in the linear response regime. Metallic resonators have shown characteristic features of dissipation due to tunneling two level systems (TLS). This system offers a…

Glass-forming liquids display strong fluctuations -- dynamical heterogeneities -- near their glass transition. By numerically simulating a binary Weeks-Chandler-Andersen liquid and varying both temperature and timescale, we investigate the…

We argue that for generic systems close to a critical point, an extended Fluctuation-Dissipation relation connects the low frequency non-linear (cubic) susceptibility to the four-point correlation function. In glassy systems, the latter…

Structural two level systems (TLSs) ubiquitous in amorphous solids are dramatically sensitive to thermal cycling to about $20$K and then back to low temperature, a process upon which the excitation energy of most TLSs is significantly…

It is unexpected that a spin-glass transition, which generally occurs only in the system with some form of disorder, was observed in the ThCr2Si2-type compound PrAu2Si2 at a temperature of ~3 K. This puzzling phenomenon was later explained…

Er-doped phosphate glasses were fabricated by melt-quenching technique. The changes in their thermal, structural and luminescence properties with the addition of Al2O3, TiO2 or ZnO were studied. Physical and thermal properties were…

Glasses are known to exhibit quantitative universalities at low temperatures, the most striking of which is the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient 1/Q. In this work we develop a theory of coupled generic blocks with a certain randomness…

Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility and its anisotropy in the quasi-one-dimensional system o-TaS_{3} in its low-T charge density wave (CDW) ground state are reported. Both sets of data reveal below 40 K an extra paramagnetic…

The Zintl compound AIn2X2 (A = Ca, Sr, and X = P, As), as a theoretically predicted new non-magnetic topological insulator, requires experiments to understand their electronic structure and topological characteristics. In this paper, we…

We show that a glass transition, signaled by a peak in the specific heat vs. temperature, can occur because a glassy system that shows no signs of aging progresses so slowly through the energy landscape that the time needed to obtain an…

Ac susceptibility measurements were performed on discontinuous magnetic multilayers [Co80Fe20(t)/Al2O3(3nm)]x10, t = 0.9 and 1.0nm, by Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometry. The CoFe forms nearly spherical…

We report measurements of the real and imaginary parts of the AC conductivity in the quantum limit, \hbar \omega > k_B T of insulating nominally uncompensated n-type silicon. The observed frequency dependence shows evidence for a crossover…

The ac nonlinear dielectric response $\chi_3(\omega,T)$ of glycerol was measured close to its glass transition temperature $T_g$ to investigate the prediction that supercooled liquids respond in an increasingly non-linear way as the…

A molecular theory of the glass transition of network forming liquids is developed using a combination of self-consistent phonon and liquid state approaches. Both the dynamical transition and the entropy crisis characteristic of random…

This paper reports on a systematic first-principles molecular dynamics investigation of binary (TlO$_{0.5}$)$_{y}$-(TeO$_2$)$_{1-y}$ and ternary $(TiO$_{2}$)$_{x}$-(TlO$_{0.5}$)$_{y}$-(TeO$_2$)_{1-x-y}$ tellurite glasses. The obtained…

To describe the interaction of the two level systems (TLSs) of an amorphous solid with arbitrary strain fields, we introduce a generalization of the standard interaction Hamiltonian. In this new model, the interaction strength depends on…

A detailed analysis of Monte Carlo data on the two-dimensional Ising spin glass with bimodal interactions shows that the free energy of the model has a nontrivial scaling. In particular, we show by studying the correlation length that much…

The spin ice compound Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ is well-known to realise a three-dimensional Coulomb spin liquid with magnetically charged monopole excitations. Its fate at low temperatures, however, remains an intriguing open question. Based on a…

Extensive measurements of macroscopic stress in a 2D LJ glass, over a broad range of temperatures ($T$) and strain rates ($\dot\gamma$), demonstrate a very significant decrease of the flowing stress with $T$, even much below the glass…

Mean field spin glass models have undergone substantial mathematical development, but finite dimensional short range spin glasses remain much less understood. This paper proves several rigorous zero temperature signatures of glassy behavior…
