Structural Signatures of Vitrification in Hard Core Fluids

Sanat K. Kumar, Shekhar Garde, Jack F. Douglas +1

Computer simulations of hard spheres and disks are used to estimate the most probable cavity size, ${\xi }_{\mathrm{cavity}}$, and a ``rattle'' size, ${\xi }_{\mathrm{rattle}}$, over which a particle…
