Application of Edwards' statistical mechanics to high-dimensional jammed sphere packings

Charbonneau, Patrick (AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2010)

The isostatic jamming limit of frictionless spherical particles from Edwards' statistical mechanics [Song et al., Nature (London) 453, 629 (2008)] is generalized to arbitrary dimension d using a liquid-state description. ...
Monte Carlo Study of the Axial Next-Nearest-Neighbor Ising Model

Zhang, Kai; Charbonneau, Patrick (AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2010)

The equilibrium phase behavior of microphase-forming systems is notoriously difficult to obtain because of the extended metastability of the modulated phases. We develop a simulation method based on free-energy integration ...
Numerical and theoretical study of a monodisperse hard-sphere glass former

Charbonneau, Patrick (AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2010)

There exists a variety of theories of the glass transition and many more numerical models. But because the models need built-in complexity to prevent crystallization, comparisons with theory can be difficult. We study the ...
