In this article, the mechanism of the unexpected high fluidity in SiOx nanowire under modest irradiation was proposed, the high fluidity is attributed to the long lifetime of irradiation-induced holes, which arise from formation of small polarons. The holes created in irradiation could have a long lifetime, and localized in space, such missing of bonding electron could suppress the energy barrier(athermal activation effect) for a Pachner move of the network. The atomic level dynamics of the system is proposed by interaction of phonon and local configuration, the activation effect was then studied with passing rate of corresponding stochastic dynamic equation, calculation shows an exponential dependent of the time-lapse of Pachner move to lifetime of the activation, furthermore, connection between the local configuration time and viscosity of the fluid indicates a strong sensitivity of viscosity to lifetime of the athermal activation, such mechanism would give an effective interpretation to the unexpected high fluidity together with the passivation effect of the conductor on the material.

We study the thermodynamic stability of fluid-fluid phase separation in binary nonadditive mixtures of hard-spheres for moderate size ratios. We are interested in elucidating the role played by small amounts of nonadditivity in determining the stabil ity of fluid-fluid phase separation with respect to the fluid-solid phase transition. The demixing curves are built in the framework of the modified-hypernetted chain and of the Rogers-Young integral equation theories through the calculation of the Gibbs free energy. We also evaluate fluid-fluid phase equilibria within a first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory applied to an effective one-component potential obtained by integrating out the degrees of freedom of the small spheres. A qualitative agreement emerges between the two different approaches. We also address the determination of the freezing line by applying the first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory to the effective interaction between large spheres. Our results suggest that for intermediate size ratios a modest amount of nonadditivity, smaller than earlier thought, can be sufficient to drive the fluid-fluid critical point into the thermodinamically stable region of the phase diagram. These findings could be significant for rare-gas mixtures in extreme pressure and temperature conditions, where nonadditivity is expected to be rather small.
We combine computer simulations and analytical theory to investigate the glassy dynamics in dense assemblies of athermal particles evolving under the sole influence of self-propulsion. The simulations reveal that when the persistence time of the self -propelled particles is increased, the local structure becomes more pronounced whereas the long-time dynamics first accelerates and then slows down. These seemingly contradictory evolutions are explained by constructing a nonequilibrium mode-coupling-like theory for interacting self-propelled particles. To predict the collective dynamics the theory needs the steady state structure factor and the steady state correlations of the local velocities. It yields nontrivial predictions for the glassy dynamics of self-propelled particles in qualitative agreement with the simulations.
Enthalpic interactions at the interface between nanoparticles and matrix polymers is known to influence various properties of the resultant polymer nanocomposites (PNC). For athermal PNCs, consisting of grafted nanoparticles embedded in chemically id entical polymers, the role and extent of the interface layer (IL) interactions in determining the properties of the nanocomposites is not very clear. Here, we demonstrate the influence of the interfacial layer dynamics on the fragility and dynamical heterogeneity (DH) of athermal and glassy PNCs. The IL properties are altered by changing the grafted to matrix polymer size ratio, f, which in turn changes the extent of matrix chain penetration into the grafted layer. The fragility of PNCs is found to increase monotonically with increasing entropic compatibility, characterized by increasing penetration depth. Contrary to observations in most polymers and glass formers, we observe an anti-correlation between the dependence on IL dynamics of fragility and DH, quantified by the experimentally estimated Kohlrausch-Watts-Williams parameter and the non-Gaussian parameter obtained from simulations.
We analyze the fluctuations in particle positions and inter-particle forces in disordered jammed crystals in the limit of weak disorder. We demonstrate that such athermal systems are fundamentally different from their thermal counterparts, characteri zed by constrained fluctuations of forces perpendicular to the lattice directions. We develop a disorder perturbation expansion in polydispersity about the crystalline state, which we use to derive exact results to linear order. We show that constrained fluctuations result as a consequence of local force balance conditions, and are characterized by non-Gaussian distributions which we derive exactly. We analytically predict several properties of such systems, including the scaling of the average coordination with polydispersity and packing fraction, which we verify with numerical simulations using soft disks with one-sided harmonic interactions.
We derive exact results for displacement fields that develop as a response to external pinning forces in two dimensional athermal networks. For a triangular lattice arrangement of particles interacting through soft potentials, we develop a Greens fun ction formalism which we use to derive exact results for displacement fields produced by localized external forces. We show that in the continuum limit the displacement fields decay as $1/r$ at large distances $r$ away from a force dipole. Finally, we extend our formulation to study correlations in the displacement fields produced by the external pinning forces. We show that uncorrelated pinned forces at each vertex give rise to long-range correlations in displacements in athermal systems, with a non-trivial system size dependence. We verify our predictions with numerical simulations of athermal networks in two dimensions.
