Correlations and response in sheared hard sphere glasses — •Suvendu Mandal1, Dierk Raabe1, and Fathollah Varnik2 — 1Max-Planck Institut für Eisenforschung, Max-Planck Str. 1, 40237 Düsseldorf, Germany — 2Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS), Ruhr University Bochum, Universitätsstr. 150, 44801 Bochum, Germany
Via event-driven molecular dynamics simulations, we study the packing-fraction and shear-rate dependence of single-particle fluctuations and dynamic correlations in hard-sphere glasses under shear [1]. At packing fractions above the glass transition, correlations increase as shear rate decreases: the exponential tail in the distribution of single-particle jumps broadens and dynamic four-point correlations increase. Interestingly, however, upon decreasing the packing fraction, a broadening of the exponential tail is also observed, while dynamic heterogeneity is shown to decrease. An explanation for this behavior is proposed in terms of a competition between shear and thermal fluctuations. We further address the issue of anisotropy of the dynamic correlations [2,3].
