“Static Structural Signatures of Nearly Jammed Disordered and Ordered Hard-sphere Packings: Direct Correlation Function” is published in Physical Review E Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper here The nonequilibrium process by which hard-particle systems may be compressed into disordered, jammed states has received much attention because of its wide utility in describing a broad class of amorphous materials. While dynamical signatures are known to precede jamming, the task of identifying static structural signatures indicating the onset of … Continue Reading “Static Structural Signatures of Nearly Jammed Disordered and Ordered Hard-sphere Packings: Direct Correlation Function” is published in Physical Review E
“Characterization of Maximally Random Jammed Sphere Packings: II. Correlation Functions and Density Fluctuations” is published in Physical Review E Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper here In the first paper of this series, we introduced Voronoi correlation functions to characterize the structure of maximally random jammed (MRJ) sphere packings across length scales. In the present paper, we determine a variety of different correlation functions that arise in rigorous expressions for the effective physical properties of MRJ … Continue Reading “Characterization of Maximally Random Jammed Sphere Packings: II.
