A percolation model for slow dynamics in glass-forming materials
Gregg Lois, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
We identify a link between the glass transition and percolation of mobile regions in configuration space. We find that many hallmarks of glassy dynamics, for example stretched-expo…
A minimal model for kinetic arrest
Prasanta Pal, Corey S. O'Hern, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz +1
To elucidate slow dynamics in glassy materials, we introduce the {\it Figure-8 model} in which hard blocks undergo Brownian motion around a circuit in the shape of a figure-8.…
Understanding the Frequency Distribution of Mechanically Stable Disk Packings
Guo-Jie Gao, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
Relative frequencies of mechanically stable (MS) packings of frictionless bidisperse disks are studied numerically in small systems. The packings are created by successively compre…
Enumeration of distinct mechanically stable disk packings in small systems
Guo-Jie Gao, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
We create mechanically stable (MS) packings of bidisperse disks using an algorithm in which we successively grow or shrink soft repulsive disks followed by energy minimization unti…
Random close packing revisited: How many ways can we pack frictionless disks?
Ning Xu, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
We create collectively jammed (CJ) packings of 50-50 bidisperse mixtures of smooth disks in 2d using an algorithm in which we successively compress or expand soft particles and min…
