Jamming by Shape in Kinetically-Constrained Models

arXiv:1401.3942 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.89.032204

Abstract

We derive expressions for the critical density for jamming in a hyper-rhomboid system of arbitrary shape in any dimension for the Kob-Andersen and Fredrickson-Andersen kinetically-constrained models. We find that changing the system's shape without altering its total volume or particle density may induce jamming. We also find a transition between shapes in which the correlation length between jammed particles is infinite, and shapes that have a finite correlation length.
