Denser-than-crystalline disordered polydisperse ellipse packings
Kinsley G. Trlak, Dewni S. de Silva, Salvatore Torquato +1
By employing SWAP Monte Carlo moves during slow Lubachevsky-Stillinger-like particle growth, we generate well-thermalized disordered jammed ellipse packings for a wide range of par…
Glassy polymers' strain-hardening moduli scale with their statistical-segment volumes
Robert S. Hoy
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that a widely-accepted theoretical prediction for glassy-polymeric strain hardening moduli (, where is the enta…
Ultrastable jammed sphere packings with a wide range of particle dispersities
Robert S. Hoy
We show that for a standard continuously-polydisperse model with particle-diameter distribution and polydispersity index , employing a combination of stand…
Quantitative relations between nearest-neighbor persistence and slow heterogeneous dynamics in supercooled liquids
Katrianna S. Sarkar, Kevin A. Interiano-Alberto, Jack F. Douglas +1
Using molecular dynamics simulations of a binary Lennard-Jones model of glass-forming liquids, we examine how the decay of the normalized neighbor-persistence function $C_{\rm B}(t…
Generating ultradense jammed ellipse packings using biased SWAP
Robert S. Hoy
Using a Lubachevsky-Stillinger-like growth algorithm combined with biased SWAP Monte Carlo and transient degrees of freedom, we generate ultradense disordered jammed ellipse packin…
Critical slowing down in thermal soft-sphere glasses via energy minimization
Kevin A. Interiano-Alberto, Peter K. Morse, Robert S. Hoy
Using hybrid molecular dynamics/SWAP Monte Carlo (MD/SMC) simulations, we show that the terminal relaxation times for FIRE energy minimization of soft-sphere glasses exhibit th…
