“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.
