introduction - jamming phase diagram our
model for a granular material simulations in 2D
at T 0 scaling collapse for shear viscosity
correlation length critical exponents

flowing ? rigid but disordered
granular materials large grains ? T 0
upon increasing the volume density of particles
above a critical value the sudden appearance of a
finite shear stiffness signals a transition from
a flowing state to a rigid but disordered state -
this is the jamming transition point J
sheared foams polydisperse densely packed
gas bubbles
upon decreasing the applied shear stress below a
critical yield stress, the foam ceases to flow
and behaves like an elastic solid
structural glass
upon decreasing the temperature, the viscosity of
a liquid grows rapidly and the liquid freezes
into a disordered rigid solid

conjecture by Liu and Nagel (Nature 1998)
jamming point J is a special critical point in
a larger 3D phase diagram with the three axes ?
? volume density T ? temperature ? ? applied
shear stress (nonequilibrium
axis)
understanding T 0 jamming at point J in
granular materials may have implications for
understanding the structural glass transition at
finite T
here we consider the ?????? plane at T 0

scaling about point J for finite shear stress ?
scaling hypothesis (2nd order phase
transitions) at a 2nd order critical point, a
diverging correlation length ?? determines all
critical behavior quantities that vanish at the
critical point all scale as some power of
??? rescaling the correlation length, ? ? b?,
corresponds to rescaling

possibilities
???? 0 stress ? is irrelevant variable ? jamming
at finite ? in same universality class
as point J (like adding a small
magnetic field to an antiferromagnet)
???? 0 stress ? is relevant variable ? jamming at
finite ? in different universality
class from point J
i) f?(z) vanishes only at z ??0
finite ? destroys the jamming transition (like
adding a small magnetic field to a ferromagnet)
  • ii) f(z) ? z - z0?' vanishes as z ??z0
    from above

??1 vanishes as ????????????'
(like adding small anisotropy field at a
spin-flop bicritical point)

scaling collapse of viscosity ?
stress ? is a relevant variable
point J is a true 2nd order critical point
unclear if jamming remains at finite ?
15
correlation length
regions separated by ? are anti-correlated
motion is by rotation of regions of size ?

? diverges at point J

conclusions
point J is a true 2nd order critical point
correlation length diverges at point J critical
scaling extends to non-equilibrium driven
steady states at finite shear stress ? ????? in
agreement with proposal by Liu and Nagel shear
stress ? is a relevant variable that
changes the critical behavior at point J
jamming transition at finite ? remains to be
clarified finite temperature?
