英文摘要：

We incorporate the role of free volume in the density function of the amorphous structure and study its effects on the stability of such structures. The Density Functional Theory is used to explore this ``Free Volume Model'' of the supercooled structures. The Free energy minimization is carried out using the void concentration as a variational parameter. A critical value of this concentration exists corresponding to the Free energy minima of the amorphous structure. An increase in the stability is observed due to the inclusion of voids in the density structure. This study is conducted for both the weakly and highly localized amorphous structures. The free volume concentration shows a power law decrease with density for the weakly localized states and a linear decrease for the highly localized amorphous structures.

The amorphous solid state: a locally stable thermodynamic phase of randomly constrained systems

The question of the local stability of the (replica-symmetric) amorphous solid state is addressed for a class of systems undergoing a continuous liquid to amorphous-solid phase transition driven by the effect of random constraints. The Hessian matrix, associated with infinitesimal fluctuations around the stationary point corresponding to the amorphous solid state, is obtained. The eigenvalues of this Hessian matrix are all shown to be strictly positive near the transition, except for one--the zero mode associated with the spontaneously broken continuous translational symmetry of the system. Th…

Statistical Physics of the Yielding Transition in Amorphous Solids

The art of making structural, polymeric and metallic glasses is rapidly developing with many applications. A limitation to their use is their mechanical stability: under increasing external strain all amorphous solids respond elastically to small strains but have a finite yield stress which cannot be exceeded without effecting a plastic response which typically leads to mechanical failure. Understanding this is crucial for assessing the risk of failure of glassy materials under mechanical loads. Here we show that the statistics of the energy barriers ΔE that need to be surmounted changes from …

Free-Boundary Dynamics in Elasto-plastic Amorphous Solids: The Circular Hole Problem

We develop an athermal shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of plastic deformation in spatially inhomogeneous, amorphous solids. Our ultimate goal is to describe the dynamics of the boundaries of voids or cracks in such systems when they are subjected to remote, time-dependent tractions. The theory is illustrated here for the case of a circular hole in an infinite two-dimensional plate, a highly symmetric situation that allows us to solve much of the problem analytically. In spite of its special symmetry, this example contains many general features of systems in which stress is concentrated …

Criticality in the approach to failure in amorphous solids

Failure of amorphous solids is fundamental to various phenomena, including landslides and earthquakes. Recent experiments indicate that highly plastic regions form elongated structures that are especially apparent near the maximal shear stress $Σ_{\max}$ where failure occurs. This observation suggested that $Σ_{\max}$ acts as a critical point where the length scale of those structures diverges, possibly causing macroscopic transient shear bands. Here we argue instead that the entire solid phase ($Σ<Σ_{\max}$) is critical, that plasticity always involves system-spanning events, and that their m…

Marginally stable phases in mean-field structural glasses

A novel form of amorphous matter characterized by marginal stability was recently discovered in the mean-field theory of structural glasses. Using this approach, we provide complete phase diagrams delimiting the location of the marginally stable glass phase for a large variety of pair interactions and physical conditions, extensively exploring physical regimes relevant to granular matter, foams, emulsions, hard and soft colloids, and molecular glasses. We find that all types of glasses may become marginally stable, but the extent of the marginally stable phase highly depends on the preparation…

A stability-reversibility map unifies elasticity, plasticity, yielding and jamming in hard sphere glasses

Amorphous solids, such as glasses, have complex responses to deformations, with significant consequences in material design and applications. In this respect two intertwined aspects are important: stability and reversibility. It is crucial to understand on the one hand how a glass may become unstable due to increased plasticity under shear deformations; on the other hand, to what extent the response is reversible, meaning how much a system is able to recover the original configuration once the perturbation is released. Here we focus on assemblies of hard spheres as the simplest model of amorph…

Density controls the kinetic stability of ultrastable glasses

We use a swap Monte Carlo algorithm to numerically prepare bulk glasses with kinetic stability comparable to that of glass films produced experimentally by physical vapor deposition. By melting these systems into the liquid state, we show that some of our glasses retain their amorphous structures longer than 10^5 times the equilibrium structural relaxation time. This exceptional kinetic stability cannot be achieved experimentally for bulk materials. We perform simulations at both constant volume and constant pressure to demonstrate that the density mismatch between the ultrastable glass and th…

Stability and Dynamics of Crystals and Glasses of Motorized Particles

Many of the large structures of the cell, such as the cytoskeleton, are assembled and maintained far from equilibrium. We study the stabilities of various structures for a simple model of such a far-from-equilibrium organized assembly in which spherical particles move under the influence of attached motors. From the variational solutions of the manybody master equation for Brownian motion with motorized kicking we obtain a closed equation for the order parameter of localization. Thus we obtain the transition criterion for localization and stability limits for the crystalline phase and frozen a…
