Athermal jamming versus thermalized glassiness in sheared frictionless particles
Athermal jamming versus thermalized glassiness in sheared frictionless particles
Numerical simulations of soft-core frictionless disks in two dimensions are carried out to study the behavior of a simple liquid as a function of temperature $T$, packing fraction $\ensuremath{\phi}$, and uniform applied shear strain rate $\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$. Inferring the hard-core limit from our soft-core results, we find that it …
