Finite-Size-Scaling at the Jamming Transition: Corrections to Scaling and the Correlation Length Critical Exponent

arXiv:1010.4752 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.83.030303

Abstract

We carry out a finite size scaling analysis of the jamming transition in frictionless bi-disperse soft core disks in two dimensions. We consider two different jamming protocols: (i) quench from random initial positions, and (ii) quasistatic shearing. By considering the fraction of jammed states as a function of packing fraction for systems with different numbers of particles, we determine the spatial correlation length critical exponent , and show that corrections to scaling are crucial for analyzing the data. We show that earlier numerical results yielding are due to the improper neglect of these corrections.
