Tetratic Order in the Phase Behavior of a Hard-Rectangle System
A. Donev, J. Burton, F. H. Stillinger +1
Previous Monte Carlo investigations by Wojciechowski \emph{et al.} have found two unusual phases in two-dimensional systems of anisotropic hard particles: a tetratic phase of four-…
Optimized Interactions for Targeted Self-Assembly: Application to Honeycomb Lattice
Mikael Rechtsman, Frank Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
We devise an inverse statistical-mechanical methodology to find optimized interaction potentials that lead spontaneously to a target many-particle configuration. Target structures…
New Conjectural Lower Bounds on the Optimal Density of Sphere Packings
S. Torquato, F. H. Stillinger
Sphere packings in high dimensions interest mathematicians and physicists and have direct applications in communications theory. Remarkably, no one has been able to provide exponen…
Comment on "Jamming at zero temperature and zero applied stress: The epitome of disorder"
A. Donev, S. Torquato, F. H. Stillinger +1
O'Hern, Silbert, Liu and Nagel [Phys. Rev. E. 68, 011306 (2003)] (OSLN) claim that a special point of a "jamming phase diagram" (in density, temperature, stress space) is relat…
Unexpected Density Fluctuations in Jammed Disordered Sphere Packings
A. Donev, F. H. Stillinger, S. Torquato
We computationally study jammed disordered hard-sphere packings as large as a million particles. We show that the packings are saturated and hyperuniform, i.e., that local density…
