Energy landscape description of the clustering transition for active soft spheres
Moumita Maiti, Michael Schmiedeberg
For a system consisting of active soft spheres in three dimensions, we study the transition from a fluid where overlaps between particles can only occur for a short time after a co…
The thermal jamming transition of soft harmonic disks in two dimensions
Moumita Maiti, Michael Schmiedeberg
By exploring the properties of the energy landscape of a bidisperse system of soft harmonic disks in two dimensions we determine the thermal jamming transition. To be specific, we…
Temperature dependence of the transition packing fraction of thermal jamming in a harmonic soft sphere system
Moumita Maiti, Michael Schmiedeberg
The glassy dynamics of soft harmonic spheres is often mapped onto the dynamics of hard spheres by considering an effective diameter for the soft particles and therefore an effectiv…
Ergodicity breaking transition in a glassy soft sphere system at small but non-zero temperatures
Moumita Maiti, Michael Schmiedeberg
While the glass transition at non-zero temperature seems to be hard to access for experimental, theoretical, or simulation studies, jamming at zero temperature has been explored in…
Cage properties and its implication to the existence of glass transition in hard sphere systems
Moumita Maiti
In deep supercooled liquids, particles get trapped in transient cages made up of neighbouring particles. Here we define a cage from a geometrical quantity, free volume, such that t…
Friction-induced Shear thickening: a microscopic perspective
Moumita Maiti, Annette Zippelius, Claus Heussinger
We develop a microscopic picture of shear thickening in dense suspensions which emphasizes the role of frictional forces, coupling rotational and translational degrees of freedom.…
Free volume under shear
Moumita Maiti, H. A. Vinutha, Srikanth Sastry +1
Using an athermal quasistatic simulation protocol, we study the distribution of free volumes in sheared hard-particle packings close to, but below, the random-close packing thresho…
Rheology near jamming - the influence of lubrication forces
Moumita Maiti, Claus Heussinger
We study, by computer simulations, the role of different dissipation forces on the rheological properties of highly-dense particle-laden flows. In particular, we are interested in…
Free volume distribution of nearly jammed hard sphere packings
Moumita Maiti, Srikanth Sastry
We calculate the free volume distributions of nearly jammed packings of monodisperse and bidisperse hard sphere configurations. These distributions differ qualitatively from those…
