Two-level systems and mass deficit in quantum solids
We study a disordered quantum solid incorporating two-level systems in which a group of atoms (or a single atom) can experience coherent tunnelling between two different positions and demonstrate that an effective mass deficit induced by the presence of such objects can manifest itself only at relatively high frequencies and should vanish in the low-frequency limit. The crossover to the regime ...
متن کاملAnomalous stress fluctuations in athermal two-dimensional amorphous solids.
We numerically study the local stress distribution within athermal, isotropically stressed, mechanically stable, packings of bidisperse frictionless disks above the jamming transition in two dimensions. Considering the Fourier transform of the local stress, we find evidence for algebraically increasing fluctuations in both isotropic and anisotropic components of the stress tensor at small wave ...
متن کاملHidden structure in amorphous solids
Review copy ± not for distribution (pss-logo will be inserted here by the publisher) pss-‐Header will be provided by the publisher 1 Introduction The continuous random network (CRN) has become the accepted model for homogeneously disordered materials, and for good reason: such atomistic models reproduce the experimentally observed properties of the materials, including some of the finer detail...
متن کاملA kinetic model for anisotropic reactions in amorphous solids
When mechanical constraints are present, solid-state reactions often induce deviatoric inelastic strains in addition to volume change. Existing models either attribute such deformation to the plastic flow driven by the stress exceeding a non-measurable kinetic-dependent yield strength, or need to introduce a deviatoric-stress-dependent chemical potential. By employing the transformation strain ...
متن کاملBreakdown of continuum elasticity in amorphous solids.
We show numerically that the response of simple amorphous solids (elastic networks and particle packings) to a local force dipole is characterized by a lengthscale lc that diverges as unjamming is approached as lc ∼ (z - 2d)(-1/2), where z ≥ 2d is the mean coordination, and d is the spatial dimension, at odds with previous numerical claims. We also show how the magnitude of the lengthscale lc i...
