Critical scaling of jammed system after quench of temperature

Statistical Mechanics 2015-03-19 v6 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

Critical behavior of soft repulsive particles after quench of temperature near the jamming trasition is numerically investigated. It is found that the plateau of the mean square displacement of tracer particles and the pressure satisfy critical scaling laws. The critical density for the jamming transition depends on the protocol to prepare the system, while the values of the critical exponents which are consistent with the prediction of a phenomenology are independent of the protocol.
