“Hyperuniformity scaling of maximally random jammed packings of two-dimensional binary disks” Published in Physical Review E Categories News Author Julia Kazmierczak Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Jammed (mechanically rigid) polydisperse circular-disk packings in two dimensions (2D) are popular models for structural glass formers. Maximally random jammed (MRJ) states, which are the most disordered packings subject to strict jamming, have been shown to be hyperuniform. The characterization of the hyperuniformity of MRJ … Continue Reading “Hyperuniformity scaling of maximally random jammed packings of two-dimensional binary disks” Published in Physical Review E
“Can one hear the shape of a crystal?” Published in Physical Review Research Categories News Author Julia Kazmierczak Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Isospectrality is a general fundamental concept often involving whether various operators can have identical spectra, i.e., the same set of eigenvalues. In the context of the Laplacian operator, the famous question “Can one hear the shape of a drum?” concerns whether different shaped drums can … Continue Reading “Can one hear the shape of a crystal?” Published in Physical Review Research
“Stealthy and hyperuniform isotropic photonic band gap structure in 3D” Published in PNAS Nexus Categories News Author Julia Kazmierczak Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here In photonic crystals, the propagation of light is governed by their photonic band structure, an ensemble of propagating states grouped into bands, separated by photonic band gaps. Due to discrete symmetries in spatially strictly periodic dielectric structures their photonic band structure is intrinsically anisotropic. However, … Continue Reading “Stealthy and hyperuniform isotropic photonic band gap structure in 3D” Published in PNAS Nexus
