Arrangements of lines of hard and soft spheres in confinement
Ryan-Purcell, John (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)Chains of particles, ranging from one-dimensional to three-dimensional structures, offer an avenue of research spanning condensed matter physics to microengineering, providing insights into material behaviour across diverse ... -
Buckling of a linear chain of hard spheres in a harmonic confining potential: Numerical and analytical results for low and high compression
Hutzler, Stefan; Weaire, Denis; Mughal, Adil; Irannezhad, Ali; Ryan-Purcell, John (2020)We extend a previous analysis of the buckling properties of a linear chain of hard spheres between hard walls under transverse harmonic confinement. Two regimes are distinguished—low compression, for which the entire chain ...
