Boson peak (BP) dynamics refers to the universal excitation in the terahertz region of glass. In this study, the universal dynamics of BP were quantitatively evaluated in various glassy materials based on the heterogeneous elasticity theory…
We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of ultracold bosons in an optical lattice with a time dependent hopping amplitude J(t)=J_0 +\delta J \cos(\omega t) which takes the system from a superfluid phase near the Mott-superfluid transition (J=…
The emergence of the solid state in glass-forming materials upon cooling is accompanied by changes in both thermodynamic and viscoelastic properties and by a precipitous drop in fluidity. Here, we investigate changes in basic elastic…
Despite the use of glasses for thousands of years, the nature of the glass transition is still mysterious. On approaching the glass transition, the growth of dynamic heterogeneity has long been thought to play a key role in explaining the…
Despite decades of research, it remains to be established whether the transformation of a liquid into a glass is fundamentally thermodynamic or dynamic in origin. While observations of growing length scales are consistent with thermodynamic…
Although solid helium-4 (4He) may be a supersolid it also exhibits many phenomena unexpected in that context. We studied relaxation dynamics in the resonance frequency f(T) and dissipation D(T) of a torsional oscillator containing solid…
We present an implementation of the analytical string theory recently applied to the description of glasses. These are modeled as continuum media with embedded elastic string heterogeneities, randomly located and randomly oriented, which…
Relaxation processes significantly influence the properties of glass materials. However, understanding their specific origins is difficult, even more challenging is to forecast them theoretically. In this study, using microseconds molecular…
It is well known that the \alpha-relaxation of each component in a miscible mixtures of two glass-formers has its own dynamics, which change with the composition of the blend. Lesser known are the corresponding change of the…
The $\beta$-relaxation associated with the sub-glass transition temperature ($T_{\text{g},\beta}$) is attributed to fast, localised molecular motions which can occur below the primary glass transition temperature ($T_{g\alpha}$). Despite…
The intrinsic nature of glass states and glass transitions at the atomic scale remain a fundamental open question in condensed-matter physics and materials science. By combining femtosecond electron diffraction with time-dependent…
If quenched fast enough, a liquid is able to avoid crystallization and will remain in a metastable supercooled state down to the glass transition, with an important increase in viscosity upon further cooling. There are important differences…
Many amorphous glassy materials exhibit complex spatio-temporal mechanical response and rheology, characterized by an intermittent stress-strain response and a fluctuating velocity profile. Under quasistatic and athermal deformation…
Stochastic Beta Relaxation (SBR) is a model for the dynamics of glass- forming liquids close to the glass transition singularity of the idealized mode- coupling theory (MCT) that has been derived from generic MCT-like theories by applying…
We study slow dynamics of particles moving in a matrix of immobile obstacles using molecular dynamics simulations. The glass transition point decreases drastically as the obstacle density increases. At higher obstacle densities, the…
Molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to study the formation of a physical (thermoreversible) gel by amphiphilic A-B-A triblock copolymers in aqueous solution. In order to mimic the structure of hydrogel-forming polypeptides…
Glasses derive their functional properties from complex relaxation dynamics that remain enigmatic under extreme conditions. While the temperature dependence of these relaxation processes is well-established, their behavior under…
We study static and dynamic spatial correlations in a two-dimensional spin model with four-body plaquette interactions and standard Glauber dynamics by means of analytic arguments and Monte Carlo simulations. We study in detail the…
We study the interaction of the relaxation processes with the density fluctuations by molecular dynamics simulation of a flexible molecule model for o-terphenyl (oTP) in the liquid and supercooled phases. We find evidence, besides the…
For several atomistic models of glass formers, at conditions below their glassy dynamics onset temperatures, ${T_\mathrm{o}}$, we use importance sampling of trajectory space to study the structure, statistics and dynamics of excitations…
