Non-Universality of Density and Disorder in Jammed Sphere Packings
Yang Jiao, Frank H. Stillinger, Sal Torquato
We show for the first time that collectively jammed disordered packings of three-dimensional monodisperse frictionless hard spheres can be produced and tuned using a novel numerica…
Optimized Monotonic Convex Pair Potentials Stabilize Low-Coordinated Crystals
Etienne Marcotte, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
We have previously used inverse statistical-mechanical methods to optimize isotropic pair interactions with multiple extrema to yield low-coordinated crystal classical ground state…
Novel Low-Temperature Behavior in Classical Many-Particle Systems
Robert D. Batten, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
We show that classical many-particle systems interacting with certain soft pair interactions in two dimensions exhibit novel low-temperature behaviors. Ground states span from diso…
Dense sphere packings from optimized correlation functions
Adam B. Hopkins, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
Elementary smooth functions (beyond contact) are employed to construct pair correlation functions that mimic jammed disordered sphere packings. Using the g2-invariant optimization…
Gaussian core model phase diagram and pair correlations in high Euclidean dimensions
Chase E. Zachary, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
The physical properties of a classical many-particle system with interactions given by a repulsive Gaussian pair potential are extended to arbitrarily high Euclidean dimensions. Th…
Classical Disordered Ground States: Super-Ideal Gases, and Stealth and Equi-Luminous Materials
Robert D. Batten, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
Using a collective coordinate numerical optimization procedure, we construct ground-state configurations of interacting particle systems in various space dimensions so that the sca…
