Symmetry breaking and low energy conformational fluctuations in amorphous graphene
Recently, the prospects for amorphous phases of graphene (a-g) have been explored computationally. Initial models were flat, and contained odd-member rings, while maintaining threefold coordination and sp bonding. Upon relaxation, puckering occurs, and may be traced to the existence of pentagons, in analogy with the situation for fullerenes. In this work, we systematically explore the inherent ...
متن کاملTwo-phase electrochemical lithiation in amorphous silicon.
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized portable electronics and will be a key to electrifying transport vehicles and delivering renewable electricity. Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is being intensively studied as a high-capacity anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Its lithiation has been widely thought to occur through a single-phase mechanism with gentle Li profiles, thus o...
متن کاملReplica symmetry breaking in the minority game
We extend and complete recent work concerning the analytic solution of the minority game. Nash equilibria (NE) of the game have been found to be related to the ground states of a disordered hamiltonian with replica symmetry breaking (RSB), signalling the presence of a large number of them. Here we study the number of NE both analytically and numerically. We then analyze the stability of the rec...
متن کاملAb initio simulation of first-order amorphous-to-amorphous phase transition of silicon
The pressure-induced phase transition in amorphous silicon ~a-Si! is studied using ab initio constantpressure molecular-dynamic simulations. Crystalline silicon ~c-Si! shows a phase transformation from diamond-to-simple hexagonal at 29.5 GPa, whereas a-Si presents an irreversible sharp transition to an amorphous metallic phase at 16.25 GPa. The transition pressure of a-Si is also calculated fro...
متن کاملGlassy slowdown and replica-symmetry-breaking instantons.
Glass-forming liquids exhibit a dramatic dynamical slowdown as the temperature is lowered. This can be attributed to relaxation proceeding via large structural rearrangements whose characteristic size increases as the system cools. These cooperative rearrangements are well modeled by instantons in a replica effective field theory, with the size of the dominant instanton encoding the liquid's ca...
