Spatial distribution of elastic heterogeneity in silica glass

Caption

Schematic illustration of the spatial heterogeneity of the shear modulus in silica glass. The colour distribution on the upper half of the glass structure represents the spatial distribution of the shear modulus. The lattice size indicated by the grid lines corresponds to the characteristic spatial scale of shear modulus fluctuations.
