Fig. 2: Correlation between the soft spots and the topological defects.

From: Hedgehog topological defects in 3D amorphous solids

a The color map visualizes the 3D average topological charge density. The black symbols are the locations of soft spots, identified using the softness parameter, Eq. (7). b–f Pair correlation functions between HTDs: monopoles (p) and anti-monopoles (n), and plastic soft spots (s) for different frequencies. Note that the curves for ω > 1.1 are shifted upward by constant factors for better visualization in this and all other similar data sets. See Supplementary Fig. 4, for extended data.
