Figure: Unified state diagram for the fluidization transition. For small deformation amplitudes, soft systems exhibit solid-like dynamics (blue points) with low fluidity, namely very large spontaneous relaxation times. As the deformation amplitude increases, soft systems undergo the fluidization transition (gray points), characterized by the coexistence of two types of dynamics (solid and fluid). They are eventually fluidized at very large deformations, where the microscopic dynamics resemble those of a liquid. (Copyright © 2023: the authors)
