Scaling Theory for the Frictionless Unjamming Transition
Scaling Theory for the Frictionless Unjamming Transition
We develop a scaling theory of the unjamming transition of soft frictionless disks in two dimensions by defining local areas, which can be uniquely assigned to each contact. These serve to define local order parameters, whose distribution exhibits divergences as the unjamming transition is approached. We derive scaling forms for …
