Van der Waals (vdW) materials offer new ways to assemble artificial electronic media with properties controlled at the design stage, by combining atomically defined layers into interfaces and heterostructures. Their potential for…

Structural alpha relaxation in liquid orthoterphenyl is studied by means of coherent neutron time-of-flight and backscattering spectroscopy over a large temperature range. Not only amplitude and relaxation time but also the spectral line…

The concept of vibrational density of states in glasses has been mirrored in liquids by the instantaneous-normal-mode spectrum. While in glasses instantaneous configurations correspond to minima of the potential-energy hypersurface and all…

We investigate the wrinkling dynamics of a thin elastic sheet that is indented or compressed while floating on a viscous liquid. We show that the deformation speed controls the dynamics, leading to a wrinkle wavelength significantly smaller…

We analyze a mesoscopic model of a shear stress material with a three dimensional slab geometry, under an external quasistatic deformation of a simple shear type. Relaxation is introduced in the model as a mechanism by which an unperturbed…

It is shown that the dynamics of a two-dimensional crystal with a finite concentration of dislocations, as well as vacancy and interstitial defects, is governed by the hydrodynamic equations of a viscoelastic medium. At the longest length…

A small amplitude perturbation analysis is developed to describe the effect of a uniform electric field on the dynamics of a lipid bilayer vesicle in a simple shear flow. All media are treated as leaky dielectrics and fluid motion is…

The response of Newtonian liquids to small perturbations is usually considered to be fully described by homogeneous transport coefficients like shear and dilatational viscosity. However, the presence of strong density gradients at the…

Van der Waals interactions between flat surfaces in uniaxial anisotropic media are investigated in the nonretarded limit. The main focus is the effect of nonzero tilt between the optical axis and the surface normal on the strength of van…

We show that energy dissipation partition between a liquid and a solid controls the shape and stability of droplets sliding on viscoelastic gels. When both phases dissipate energy equally, droplet dynamics is similar to that on rigid…

We consider shear wave propagation in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type. Based on objective stress rates, the constitutive model accounts for finite strain, incompressibility, as well as stress- and strain-rate viscoelasticity. The…

Dielectric relaxation of materials provides important information on the polarisation dynamics at different time scales. We study the dielectric relaxation of a nematic liquid crystal under steady rotational shear and simultaneously measure…

The van der Waals liquid orthoterphenyl has long been used as a model system in the study of the glass transition. Motivated by mode-coupling theory, extensive experiments have been undertaken to monitor the onset of structural relaxation…

One century ago pioneering dielectric results obtained for water and n-alcohols triggered the advent of molecular rotation diffusion theory considered by Debye to describe the primary dielectric absorption in these liquids. Comparing…

A basic paradigm underlying the Hookean mechanics of amorphous, isotropic solids is that small deformations are proportional to the magnitude of external forces. However, slender bodies may undergo large deformations even under minute…

Lipid vesicles are known to undergo complex conformational transitions, but it remains challenging to systematically characterize non-equilibrium membrane shape dynamics. Here, we report the direct observation of lipid vesicle relaxation…

The paper discusses a model of Van der Waals crystals in which band-gap structures do not form. An effect of strong and chaotic electron-electron repulsion, which was excluded from consideration in the traditional approach, is taken into…

The aim of this paper is to calculate the time dependence of the mean position (and orientation) of a fluid particle when a fluid system at thermodynamic equilibrium is submitted to a mechanical action. The starting point of this novel…

When two-dimensional van der Waals materials are stacked to build heterostructures, moir\'e patterns emerge from twisted interfaces or from mismatch in lattice constant of individual layers. Relaxation of the atomic positions is a direct,…

Glass-like materials are nonequilibrium systems where the relaxation time may exceed reasonable time scales of observations. In the present paper a dynamic percolation model is introduced in order to explain the principal properties of…
