Radial Distribution Function and Structural Relaxation in Amorphous Solids
A method of interpreting radial distribution functions (RDF) of amorphous metals is proposed in which the role of the local atomic structure is emphasized. It is found that the width and height of the peaks of the RDF are related to the second moment of the atomic-level hydrostatic stress distribution ⟨p2⟩. The results of this analysis are then used to explain the details of the changes that oc...
متن کاملStrain localization driven by structural relaxation in sheared amorphous solids.
A two dimensional amorphous material is modeled as an assembly of mesoscopic elemental pieces coupled together to form an elastically coherent structure. Plasticity is introduced as the existence of different minima in the energy landscape of the elemental constituents. Upon the application of an external strain rate, the material shears through the appearance of elemental slip events with quad...
متن کاملRelaxation in glassforming liquids and amorphous solids
The field of viscousliquid and glassysolid dynamics is reviewed by a process of posing the key questions that need to be answered, and then providing the best answers available to the authors and their advisors at this time. The subject is divided into four parts, three of them dealing with behavior in different domains of temperature with respect to the glass transition temperature, Tg,and a f...

متن کاملBasic mechanisms of structural relaxation and diffusion in amorphous silicon
The low-temperature dynamics in amorphous silicon occurs through a sequence of discrete, activated events that reorganize the topology of the network. In this review, we present some recent work done to understand better the nature of these events and the associated dynamics in a-Si. Using the activation-relaxation technique (ART), we generated more than 8000 events in a 1000-atom model of a-Si...
