Universality of jamming of non-spherical particles
Carolina Brito, Harukuni Ikeda, Pierfrancesco Urbani +2
Amorphous packings of non-spherical particles such as ellipsoids and spherocylinders are known to be hypostatic: the number of mechanical contacts between particles is smaller than…
Jamming transition of randomly pinned systems
Carolina Brito, Giorgio Parisi, Francesco Zamponi
We consider a system of hard spheres close to jamming, where translation invariance is broken by pinning a randomly chosen set of particles. Using two different protocols, we gener…
Heterogeneous Dynamics, Marginal Stability and Soft Modes in Hard Sphere Glasses
Carolina Brito, Matthieu Wyart
In a recent publication we established an analogy between the free energy of a hard sphere system and the energy of an elastic network [1]. This result enables one to study the fre…
