The high frequency dynamics of glassy Selenium has been studied by Inelastic X-ray Scattering at beamline BL35XU (SPring-8). The high quality of the data allows one to pinpoint the existence of a dispersing acoustic mode for wavevectors ($Q$) of $1.5<Q<12.5$ nm$^{-1}$, helping to clarify a previous contradiction between experimental and numerical results. The sound velocity shows a positive dispersion, exceeding the hydrodynamic value by $approx$ 10% at $Q<3.5$ nm$^{-1}$. The $Q^2$ dependence of the sound attenuation $Gamma(Q)$, reported for other glasses, is found to be the low-$Q$ limit of a more general $Gamma(Q) propto Omega(Q)^2$ law which applies also to the higher $Q$ region, where $Omega(Q)propto Q$ no longer holds.

Spin glasses and many-body localization (MBL) are prime examples of ergodicity breaking, yet their physical origin is quite different: the former phase arises due to rugged classical energy landscape, while the latter is a quantum-interference effect
. Here we study quantum dynamics of an isolated 1d spin-glass under application of a transverse field. At high energy densities, the system is ergodic, relaxing via resonance avalanche mechanism, that is also responsible for the destruction of MBL in non-glassy systems with power-law interactions. At low energy densities, the interaction-induced fields obtain a power-law soft gap, making the resonance avalanche mechanism inefficient. This leads to the persistence of the spin-glass order, as demonstrated by resonance analysis and by numerical studies. A small fraction of resonant spins forms a thermalizing system with long-range entanglement, making this regime distinct from the conventional MBL. The model considered can be realized in systems of trapped ions, opening the door to investigating slow quantum dynamics induced by glassiness.
Owing to their large relatively thermal conductivity, peculiar, non-hydrodynamic features are expected to characterize the acoustic-like excitations observed in liquid metals. We report here an experimental study of collective modes in molten nickel,
a case of exceptional geophysical interest for its relevance in Earth interior science. Our result shed light on previously reported contrasting evidences: in the explored energy-momentum region no deviation from the generalized hydrodynamic picture describing non conductive fluids are observed. Implications for high frequency transport properties in metallic fluids are discussed.
The continuous development of synchrotron-based experimental techniques in the X-ray range provides new possibilities to probe the structure and the dynamics of bulk materials down to inter-atomic distances. However, the interaction of intense X-ray
beams with matter can also induce changes in the structure and dynamics of materials. A reversible and non-destructive beam induced dynamics has recently been observed in X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy experiments in some oxide glasses at sufficiently low absorbed doses, and is here investigated in a (Li$_2$O)$_{0.5}$(B$_2$O$_3$)$_{0.5}$ glass. The characteristic time of this induced dynamics is inversely proportional to the intensity of the X-ray beam, with a coefficient that depends on the chemical composition and local structure of the probed glass, making it a potentially new tool to investigate fundamental properties of a large class of disordered systems. While the exact mechanisms behind this phenomenon are yet to be elucidated, we report here on the measurement of the exchanged wave-vector (and thus length-scale) dependence of the characteristic time of this induced dynamics, and show that it follows the same power-law observed in vitreous silica. This supports the idea that a unique explanation for this effect in different oxide glasses should be looked for.
The linewidth of longitudinal acoustic waves in densified silica glass is obtained by inelastic x-ray scattering. It increases with a high power alpha of the frequency up to a crossover where the waves experience strong scattering. We find that alpha
is at least 4, and probably larger. Resonance and hybridization of acoustic waves with the boson-peak modes seems to be a more likely explanation for these findings than Rayleigh scattering from disorder.
We study the phase ordering dynamics of a two dimensional model colloidal solid using molecular dynamics simulations. The colloid particles interact with each other with a Hamaker potential modified by the presence of equatorial patches of attractive
and negative regions. The total interaction potential between two such colloids is, therefore, strongly directional and has three-fold symmetry. Working in the canonical ensemble, we determine the tentative phase diagram in the density-temperature plane which features three distinct crystalline ground states viz, a low density honeycomb solid followed by a rectangular solid at higher density, which eventually transforms to a close packed triangular structure as the density is increased further. We show that when cooled rapidly from the liquid phase along isochores, the system undergoes a transition to a strong glass while slow cooling gives rise to crystalline phases. We claim that geometrical frustration arising from the presence of many crystalline ground states causes glassy ordering and dynamics in this solid. Our results may be easily confirmed by suitable experiments on patchy colloids.
