“Hard Convex Lens-Shaped Particles: Characterization of Dense Disordered Packings” is published in Physical Review E Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here Link to the journal page: here Among the family of hard convex lens-shaped particles (lenses), the one with aspect ratio equal to 2/3 is “optimal” in the sense that the maximally random jammed (MRJ) packings of such lenses achieve the highest packing fraction \(\phi_\mathrm{MRJ} \approx 0.73\) [G. Cinacchi and S. … Continue Reading “Hard Convex Lens-Shaped Particles: Characterization of Dense Disordered Packings” is published in Physical Review E

“Jammed Hard-Sphere Hcp Crystals Permeated With Trivacancy Tunnels” is published in Journal of Applied Physics. Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here Link to the Journal page: here Supported by simple table-top experiments involving stackings of ball bearings and theoretical analysis, we have discovered crystal packings of identical hard spheres that are permeated by a high concentration of large tunnels and yet are jammed (mechanically stable). We show that starting with a … Continue Reading “Jammed Hard-Sphere Hcp Crystals Permeated With Trivacancy Tunnels” is published in Journal of Applied Physics.
