    Finding defects in glasses through machine learning

    Structural defects control the kinetic, thermodynamic and mechanical properties of glasses. For instance, rare quantum tunneling two-level systems (TLS) govern the physics of glasses at very low temperature. D...

    Modern computational studies of the glass transition

    The physics of the glass transition and amorphous materials continues to attract the attention of a wide research community after decades of effort. Supercooled liquids and glasses have been studied numericall...

    Microscopic origin of excess wings in relaxation spectra of supercooled liquids

    Glass formation is encountered in diverse materials. Experiments have revealed that the dynamic relaxation spectra of supercooled liquids generically become asymmetric near the glass transition temperature Tg, wh...

    Nature of excitations and defects in structural glasses

    The nature of defects in amorphous materials, analogous to vacancies and dislocations in crystals, remains elusive. Here, we explore their nature in a three-dimensional microscopic model glass-former that desc...

    Zero-temperature glass transition in two dimensions

    Liquids cooled towards the glass transition temperature transform into amorphous solids that have a wide range of applications. While the nature of this transformation is understood rigorously in the mean-fiel...

    Low-frequency vibrational modes of stable glasses

    Unusual features of the vibrational density of states D(ω) of glasses allow one to rationalize their peculiar low-temperature properties. Simulational studies of D(ω) have been restricted to studying poorly annea...

    Non-equilibrium glass transitions in driven and active matter

    The glass transition, extensively studied in dense fluids, polymers or colloids, corresponds to a marked evolution of equilibrium transport coefficients on a modest change of control parameter, such as tempera...

    Non-monotonic temperature evolution of dynamic correlations in glass-forming liquids

    The viscosity of glass-forming liquids increases by many orders of magnitude if their temperature is lowered by a mere factor of 2–3. Recent studies suggest that this widespread phenomenon is accompanied by sp...
