“Transport, geometrical, and topological properties of stealthy disordered hyperuniform two-phase systems” is published in Journal of Chemical Physics

Categories News Author

Read the full paper Disordered hyperuniform many-particle systems have attracted considerable recent attention, since they behave like crystals in the manner in which they suppress large-scale density fluctuations, and yet also resemble statistically isotropic liquids and glasses with no Bragg peaks. One important class of such systems is the classical ground states of “stealthy potentials.” … Continue Reading “Transport, geometrical, and topological properties of stealthy disordered hyperuniform two-phase systems” is published in Journal of Chemical Physics

Read the full paper here For a popular account of the research, see the Princeton University news story In proliferating epithelia of mammalian skin, cells of irregular polygon-like shapes pack into complex, nearly flat two-dimensional structures that are pliable to deformations. In this work, we employ various sensitive correlation functions to quantitatively characterize structural features … Continue Reading “Structural Characterization and Statistical-Mechanical Model of Epidermal Patterns” is published in Biophysical Journal

“The Perfect Glass Paradigm: Disordered Hyperuniform Glasses Down to Absolute Zero” is published in Scientific Reports

Categories News Author

Read the full paper here For a popular account of the research, see the Princeton University news story Rapid cooling of liquids below a certain temperature range can result in a transition to glassy states. The traditional understanding of glasses includes their thermodynamic metastability with respect to crystals. However, here we present specific examples of … Continue Reading “The Perfect Glass Paradigm: Disordered Hyperuniform Glasses Down to Absolute Zero” is published in Scientific Reports
