“Can exotic disordered ‘‘stealthy’’ particle configurations tolerate arbitrarily large holes?” is published in Soft Matter Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here The probability of finding a spherical cavity or “hole” of arbitrarily large size in typical disordered many-particle systems in the infinite-system-size limit (e.g., equilibrium liquid states) is non-zero. Such “hole” statistics are intimately linked to the thermodynamic and nonequilibrium physical properties of the system. Disordered “stealthy” many-particle configurations in d-dimensional … Continue Reading “Can exotic disordered ‘‘stealthy’’ particle configurations tolerate arbitrarily large holes?” is published in Soft Matter
“Random scalar fields and hyperuniformity” is published in Journal of Applied Physics Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here Read a Scilight article: here Disordered many-particle hyperuniform systems are exotic amorphous states of matter that lie between crystals and liquids. Hyperuniform systems have attracted recent attention because they are endowed with novel transport and optical properties. Recently, the hyperuniformity concept has been generalized to characterize two-phase media, scalar fields, … Continue Reading “Random scalar fields and hyperuniformity” is published in Journal of Applied Physics
“Evolutionary-Optimized Photonic Network Structure in White Beetle Wing Scales” is published in Advanced Materials Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here Most studies of structural color in nature concern periodic arrays, which through the interference of light create color. The “color” white however relies on the multiple scattering of light within a randomly structured medium, which randomizes the direction and phase of incident light. Opaque white materials therefore must be much … Continue Reading “Evolutionary-Optimized Photonic Network Structure in White Beetle Wing Scales” is published in Advanced Materials
