Communication: broken-ergodicity and the emergence of solid behaviour in amorphous materials.
Using a combination of theory and molecular dynamics simulations, we show how solid behaviour emerges in amorphous materials from microscopic considerations. The effect on the systems response to a sudden change in strain, upon entering the history dependent glass state, is focused on. An important symmetry that is always present in a fluid state, is shown to be broken for a simulated history d...
متن کاملBroken ergodicity of right triangular billiard systems
A right triangular billiard system is equivalent to the system of two colliding particles confined in a one-dimensional box. In spite of their seeming simplicity, no definite conclusion has been drawn so far concerning their ergodic properties. To answer this question, we transform the dynamics of the right triangular billiard system to a piecewise map and analytically prove the broken ergodici...
متن کاملDynamics and thermodynamics of the glass transition.
The principal theme of this paper is that anomalously slow, super-Arrhenius relaxations in glassy materials may be activated processes involving chains of molecular displacements. As pointed out in a preceding paper with Lemaitre, the entropy of critically long excitation chains can enable them to grow without bound, thus activating stable thermal fluctuations in the local density or molecular ...
متن کاملComment on "Jamming percolation and glass transitions in lattice models".
A new class of lattice gas models with trivial interactions but constrained dynamics is introduced. These models are proven to exhibit a dynamical glass transition: above a critical density rhoc ergodicity is broken due to the appearance of an infinite spanning cluster of jammed particles. The fraction of jammed particles is discontinuous at the transition, while in the unjammed phase dynamical...
متن کاملPercolation approach to glassy dynamics with continuously broken ergodicity.
We show that the relaxation dynamics near a glass transition with continuous ergodicity breaking can be endowed with a geometric interpretation based on percolation theory. At the mean-field level this approach is consistent with the mode-coupling theory (MCT) of type-A liquid-glass transitions and allows one to disentangle the universal and nonuniversal contributions to MCT relaxation exponent...
