Two Diverging Length Scales in the Structure of Jammed Packings
Two Diverging Length Scales in the Structure of Jammed Packings
At densities higher than the jamming transition for athermal, frictionless repulsive spheres we find two distinct length scales, both of which diverge as a power law as the transition is approached. The first, ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{Z}$, is associated with the two-point correlation function for the number of contacts on two particles as …
