“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.

“Disordered Hyperuniform Heterogeneous Materials” is published in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper here. Disordered hyperuniform many-body systems are distinguishable states of matter that lie between a crystal and liquid: they are like perfect crystals in the way they suppress large-scale density fluctuations and yet are like liquids or glasses in that they are statistically isotropic with no Bragg peaks. These systems play a … Continue Reading “Disordered Hyperuniform Heterogeneous Materials” is published in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter.
