Séminaire PMMH - Corrado Rainone (ITP Univ. of Amsterdam)

Vendredi 24 mai 2019 de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1

Addressing the protocol dependence of glass plasticity and yielding

The glassy slowdown is a phenomenon whereupon a liquid, when supercooled below its melting point, exhibits a dramatic slowdown of its dynamics, such that it rapidly becomes impossible to maintain it equilibrated on feasible experimental timescales. The resulting out-of-equilibrium system is referred to as a glass, and exhibits but unremarkable structural changes with respect to the melt it was made from.
A commonly accepted theory of this slowdown is at the moment missing. Early efforts focused on finding a fitting form for the viscosity vs. temperature curve of the supercooled liquid, which is however hard to test experimentally at low temperatures due to the slowdown. In this talk I will argue in favor of a shift in perspective from the equilibrium supercooled liquid to the out-of-equilibrium glass, and in favor of studying the plasticity and yielding phenomena of these systems as a way to look for universal, robust measurements that can potentially serve as a test-bed for theories of the glassy slowdown.
An essential part of such a program is to devise a scheme to treat the dependence on preparation history that metastable glasses are automatically endowed with as out-of-equilibrium systems ;
a proposal for such a scheme, linked to the phenomenon of sound attenuation in amorphous media, is presented.

    REPROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE FOR DATA PROCESSING AT THE EDGE : A NEW COMPUTING PARADIGM BASED ON NEUROMORPHIC SYSTEMS
    The brain's ability to perform efficient and fault-tolerant data processing is strongly related with its peculiar interconnected adaptive architecture, based on redundant neural circuits interacting at different scales. By emulating the brain's processing and learning mechanisms, computing technologies strive to (…)

Information for the speakers

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
