Exotic Acoustic-Edge and Thermal Scaling in Disordered Hyperuniform Networks
Yang Jiao
We develop a first-principles theory for the vibrational density of states (VDOS) and thermal properties of network materials built on stationary correlated disordered point config…
Modeling and Reconstructing Complex Heterogeneous Materials From Lower-Order Spatial Correlation Functions Encoding Topological and Interface Statistics
Yang Jiao
The versatile physical properties of heterogeneous materials are intimately related to their complex microstructures, which can be statistically characterized and modelled using va…
Signatures of van der Waals binding: a coupling-constant scaling analysis
Yang Jiao, Elsebeth Schröder, Per Hyldgaard
The van der Waals (vdW) density functional (vdW-DF) method [ROPP 78, 066501 (2015)] describes dispersion or vdW binding by tracking the effects of an electrodynamic coupling among…
Maximally dense packings of two-dimensional convex and concave noncircular particles
Steven Atkinson, Yang Jiao, Salvatore Torquato
Dense packings of hard particles have important applications in many fields, including condensed matter physics, discrete geometry and cell biology. In this paper, we employ a stoc…

We show analytically that the , and Pad{é} approximants of the mean cluster number for site and bond percolation on general -dimensional lattices a…
Microstructural Degeneracy associated with a Two-Point Correlation Function and its Information Content
Cedric J. Gommes, Yang Jiao, Salvatore Torquato
Two-point correlation functions provide crucial yet incomplete characterization of microstructures because different microstructures may have the same correlation function. In an e…
Diversity of Dynamics and Morphologies of Invasive Solid Tumors
Yang Jiao, Sal Torquato
Complex tumor-host interactions can significantly affect the growth dynamics and morphologies of progressing neoplasms. The growth of a confined solid tumor induces mechanical pres…

Dense polyhedron packings are useful models of a variety of condensed matter and biological systems and have intrigued scientists mathematicians for centuries. Recently, organizing…
Hyperuniformity, quasi-long-range correlations, and void-space constraints in maximally random jammed particle packings. II. Anisotropy in particle shape
Chase E. Zachary, Yang Jiao, Salvatore Torquato
We extend the results from the first part of this series of two papers by examining hyperuniformity in heterogeneous media composed of impenetrable anisotropic inclusions. Specific…
Hyperuniformity, quasi-long-range correlations, and void-space constraints in maximally random jammed particle packings. I. Polydisperse spheres
Chase E. Zachary, Yang Jiao, Salvatore Torquato
Hyperuniform many-particle distributions possess a local number variance that grows more slowly than the volume of an observation window, implying that the local density is effecti…
Rigidity of spherical codes
Henry Cohn, Yang Jiao, Abhinav Kumar +1
A packing of spherical caps on the surface of a sphere (that is, a spherical code) is called rigid or jammed if it is isolated within the space of packings. In other words, aside f…
