Hyperuniform states of matter are correlated systems that are characterized by an
anomalous suppression of long-wavelength (ie, large-length-scale) density fluctuations …

In 1989, Sir Sam Edwards made the visionary proposition to treat jammed granular materials
using a volume ensemble of equiprobable jammed states in analogy to thermal equilibrium …

Packing problems have been a source of fascination for millennia and their study has
produced a rich literature that spans numerous disciplines. Investigations of hard-particle …

We perform computational studies of static packings of a variety of nonspherical particles
including circulo-lines, circulo-polygons, ellipses, asymmetric dimers, dumbbells, and others …

A variety of performance demands are being placed on material systems, including
desirable mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, acoustic and flow properties. The purpose …

Hyperuniformity characterizes a state of matter that is poised at a critical point at which
density or volume-fraction fluctuations are anomalously suppressed at infinite wavelengths …

Packing problems are abundant in nature and have been researched thoroughly both
experimentally and in numerical models. In particular, packings of anisotropic, elliptical …

We carry out numerical studies of static packings of frictionless superellipsoidal particles in
three spatial dimensions. We consider more than 200 different particle shapes by varying …

The role of fixed degrees of freedom in soft or granular matter systems has broad
applicability and theoretical interest. Here we address questions of the geometrical role that …

Transport properties of porous media are intimately linked to their pore-space
microstructures. We quantify geometrical and topological descriptors of the pore space of …
