    • Configurational entropy measurements in extremely supercooled liquids that break the glass ceiling. 

      Berthier, Ludovic; Charbonneau, Patrick; Coslovich, Daniele; Ninarello, Andrea; Ozawa, Misaki; Yaida, Sho (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017-10-10)
      Liquids relax extremely slowly on approaching the glass state. One explanation is that an entropy crisis, because of the rarefaction of available states, makes it increasingly arduous to reach equilibrium in that regime. ...
    • Efficient measurement of point-to-set correlations and overlap fluctuations in glass-forming liquids. 

      Berthier, Ludovic; Charbonneau, Patrick; Yaida, Sho (J Chem Phys, 2016-01-14)
      Cavity point-to-set correlations are real-space tools to detect the roughening of the free-energy landscape that accompanies the dynamical slowdown of glass-forming liquids. Measuring these correlations in model glass formers ...
    • Lyapunov exponent and susceptibility 

      Charbonneau, Patrick; Li, Yue Cathy; Pfister, Henry D; Yaida, Sho (2017-08-23)
      Lyapunov exponents characterize the chaotic nature of dynamical systems by quantifying the growth rate of uncertainty associated with imperfect measurement of the initial conditions. Finite-time estimates of the exponent, ...
    • Morphology of renormalization-group flow for the de Almeida-Thouless-Gardner universality class 

      Charbonneau, Patrick; Hu, Yi; Raju, Archishman; Sethna, James P; Yaida, Sho
      A replica-symmetry-breaking phase transition is predicted in a host of disordered media. The criticality of the transition has, however, long been questioned below its upper critical dimension, six, due to the absence of ...
    • Nontrivial Critical Fixed Point for Replica-Symmetry-Breaking Transitions. 

      Charbonneau, Patrick; Yaida, Sho (Phys Rev Lett, 2017-05-26)
      The transformation of the free-energy landscape from smooth to hierarchical is one of the richest features of mean-field disordered systems. A well-studied example is the de Almeida-Thouless transition for spin glasses in ...
    • Point-to-set lengths, local structure, and glassiness. 

      Yaida, Sho; Berthier, Ludovic; Charbonneau, Patrick; Tarjus, Gilles (Phys Rev E, 2016-09)
      The growing sluggishness of glass-forming liquids is thought to be accompanied by growing structural order. The nature of such order, however, remains hotly debated. A decade ago, point-to-set (PTS) correlation lengths were ...
    • Zero-temperature glass transition in two dimensions 

      Berthier, Ludovic; Charbonneau, Patrick; Ninarello, Andrea; Ozawa, Misaki; Yaida, Sho
      The nature of the glass transition is theoretically understood in the mean-field limit of infinite spatial dimensions, but the problem remains totally open in physical dimensions. Nontrivial finite-dimensional fluctuations are ...
