Freezing of polydisperse hard spheres
R McRae, ADJ Haymet - The Journal of chemical physics, 1988 - pubs.aip.org
Modern density functional theory is used to study the freezing of a polydisperse liquid of
hard spheres into both face centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonally close packed (hcp) …

Mean-field caging in a random Lorentz gas
The random Lorentz gas (RLG) is a minimal model of both percolation and glassiness,
which leads to a paradox in the infinite-dimensional, d→∞ limit: the localization transition is …

Is glass a state of matter?
Glass is everywhere. We use and are surrounded by glass objects which make tangible the
reality of glass as a distinct state of matter. Yet, glass as we know it is usually obtained by …
