Geometrical frustration and static correlations in hard-sphere glass formers.
Abstract
We analytically and numerically characterize the structure of hard-sphere fluids in
order to review various geometrical frustration scenarios of the glass transition.
We find generalized polytetrahedral order to be correlated with increasing fluid packing
fraction, but to become increasingly irrelevant with increasing dimension. We also
find the growth in structural correlations to be modest in the dynamical regime accessible
to computer simulations.
