Temporal properties of avalanche dynamics
Slip avalanches occur in both crystalline and amorphous solids. Slip avalanches and avalanches in other systems are thought to be critical phenomena linked to a nonequilibrium phase transition. In this thesis we explore some temporal properties of experimental slip avalanche dynamics. These …

Interfaces in disordered media. Scaling growth, avalanche dynamics, and microfluidic fronts
… other hand, the characteristic intermittent <i>avalanche-like</i> behavior displayed by the front gives rise to an even more complicated dynamics, described in terms of <i>spatio-temporal complex dynamics</i>, as it is observed in many other disordered systems.<br></br><br></br> This thesis …

Dynamic weakening and trained memory in avalanche dynamics from high-entropy alloys to neurons and spin systems
Avalanche dynamics—the abrupt, collective release of stored energy under slow external driving—arise in systems ranging from earthquakes and crystalline solids to neuronal networks and spin models. Despite differences in microscopic mechanisms, these systems share universal features such as broad …

Non-universal behavior of intermittent flow in microplasticity
… intermittent and scale-free “dislocation avalanche” behavior during deformation. The scale-free nature of these deformation events means that they have no well-defined mean, and therefore are somehow fundamentally incompatible with a model based on averaged quantities. In order to describe …
