Via event-driven molecular dynamics simulations and experiments, we study the packing-fraction and shear-rate dependence of single-particle fluctuations and dynamic correlations in hard-sphere glasses under shear. At packing fractions above the glass transition, correlations increase as shear rate decreases: the expon…

The in situ elastic and plastic behaviors of sodium aluminosilicate glasses with different degrees of depolymerization were analyzed using Brillouin spectroscopy. The observed elastic anomaly progressively vanished with depolymerization. The densification process appears to be different from that observed in pure sili…

We study charge transport properties of amorphous phase-change materials (PCM) using a set of balance equations applied to a three-dimensional random network of sites. In the context of trap-limited conduction, model results are checked against experimental data on PCM devices near the limits of scaling (∼10 nm), expl…
