Thermal fluctuations, mechanical response, and hyperuniformity in jammed solids

Thermal fluctuations, mechanical response, and hyperuniformity in jammed solids

Jamming is a geometric phase transition occurring in dense particle systems in the absence of temperature. We use computer simulations to analyze the effect of thermal fluctuations on several signatures of the transition. We show that scaling laws for bulk and shear moduli only become relevant when thermal fluctuations are …
