Jamming Transitions in Amorphous Packings of Frictionless Spheres Occur over a Continuous Range of Volume Fractions

Jamming Transitions in Amorphous Packings of Frictionless Spheres Occur over a Continuous Range of Volume Fractions

We numerically produce fully amorphous assemblies of frictionless spheres in three dimensions and study the jamming transition these packings undergo at large volume fractions. We specify four protocols yielding a critical value for the jamming volume fraction which is sharply defined in the limit of large system size, but is …
