Random close packing revisited: Ways to pack frictionless disks

Random close packing revisited: Ways to pack frictionless disks

We create collectively jammed (CJ) packings of 50-50 bidisperse mixtures of smooth disks in two dimensions (2D) using an algorithm in which we successively compress or expand soft particles and minimize the total energy at each step until the particles are just at contact. We focus on small systems in …
