Entropy favors heterogeneous structures of networks near the rigidity threshold
The mechanical and thermodynamic properties of amorphous materials are governed by their disordered network at microscales, but the detail remains elusive. Yan shows that the vibrational entropy induces a floppy-rigid phase separation near the rigidity onset and thus favors heterogeneous structures.
