Athermal Jamming for particles with exponentially decreasing repulsions — •Nicolas Wohlleben and Michael Schmiedeberg — Institut für Theoretische Physik I, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany

We study the jamming of a colloidal system where the particles interact according to a Yukawa potential, i.e., the repulsion decreases exponentially with the distance as expected for screened Coulomb interactions of charged colloids in solution. The decay occurs on a length scale given by the screening length and in addition we consider a cutoff length where the potential is set to zero in a smooth way as often used in simulation.

By determining the athermal jamming transition by trying to remove overlaps we find that the transition packing fraction only depends on the cutoff length but hardly on the screening length. We also explore the radial distribution function and again confirm the importance of the cutoff length.

The picture that emerges is that the influence of a cutoff length on athermal jamming is superior to that of the screening length, although the screening length is expected to control the slowdown of the dynamics (i.e., the dynamical glass transition). As a consequence, athermal jamming (as defined by overlaps) and the glass transition obviously are unrelated in the considered system.
