We present the study of the landscape structure of hard and soft spheres as a function of the packing fraction and of the energy. We find that, on approaching the jamming transition, the number of different configurations available to the system has a steep increase and that a hierarchical organization of the landscape emerges. We use the knowledge of the structure of the landscape to predict the values of thermodynamic observables on the edge of the transition.

干扰附近玻璃化景观的探索性研究

我们目前对硬球和软球的景观结构作为填充分数和能量的函数的研究。我们发现，在接近干扰过渡时，系统可用的不同配置的数量急剧增加，并且出现了景观的分层组织。我们使用景观结构的知识来预测过渡边缘的热力学观测值。
