Topics in the theory of amorphous materials
In this Colloquium, I describe some current frontiers in the physics of semiconducting amorphous materials and glasses, including a short, but self-contained discussion of techniques for creating computer models, among them the quench from the melt method, the Activation-Relaxation Technique, the decorate and relax method, and the experimentally constrained molecular relaxation scheme. A repres...
متن کاملSemiquantitative scattering theory of amorphous materials
It is argued that the topological disorder in a small region of an amorphous solid can be described by the local strain field related to the local reference crystal. A localized state spread only in one distorted region can be viewed as the consequence of superposition among some Bloch waves and its scattering waves caused by the disorder. A semiclassical approximation is used to calculate the ...
متن کاملShear-transformation-zone theory of yielding in athermal amorphous materials.
Yielding transitions in athermal amorphous materials undergoing steady-state shear flow resemble critical phenomena. Historically, they have been described by the Herschel-Bulkley rheological formula, which implies singular behaviors at yield points. In this paper, I examine this class of phenomena using an elementary version of the thermodynamic shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory, focusing...
متن کاملUse of group theory for the analysis of vibrational spectra
To facilitate the use of group theory in the analysis of vibrational spectra, a set of Maple procedures is provided generating the normal coordinates and determining the spectral activities of polyatomic molecules. Our program, called BETHE, is based on the frequently applied point groups and provides an interactive access to the group data as needed in physical chemistry and elsewhere. Owing t...
متن کاملCorrelation of the Vibrational Spectra of Isotopomers: Theory and Application
Using the concept of a mass reaction path, we developed an algorithm that leads to the correct correlation of the vibrational modes of two isotopomers. The mass reaction path is defined by weighted incremental changes of the masses in a molecule that, successively applied, convert the “mass reactant” into the “mass product”. Overlap criteria are used to correlate the vibrational modes in the co...
