Rearrangements during slow compression of a jammed two-dimensional emulsion
arXiv:2302.05799 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.109.034605
Abstract
As amorphous materials get jammed, both geometric and dynamic heterogeneity are observed. We investigate the correlation between the local geometric heterogeneity and local rearrangements in a slowly compressed bidisperse quasi-two-dimensional emulsion system. The compression is driven by evaporation of the continuous phase, and causes the area packing fraction to increase from 0.88 to 0.99. We quantify the structural heterogeneity of the system using the radical Voronoi tessellation following the method of [Rieser et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 088001 (2016)]. We define two structural quantities characterizing local structure, the first which considers nearest neighbors and the second of which includes information from second nearest neighbors. We find that droplets in heterogeneous local regions are more likely to have local rearrangements. These rearrangements are generally T1 events where two droplets converge toward a void, and two droplets move away from the void to make room for the converging droplets. Thus the presence of the voids tends to orient the T1 events. The presence of a correlation between the structural quantities and the rearrangement dynamics remains qualitatively unchanged over the entire range of packing fractions observed.
