一个截断四面体稠密堆积的解析构造

Analytical Construction of A Dense Packing of Truncated Tetrahedra

Yang Jiao, Sal Torquato

摘要:

密多面体堆积是各种凝聚态物质和生物系统的有用模型,几个世纪以来一直吸引着科学家和数学家。近年来,人们提出了与多面体堆积有关的结构类型的组织原则。然而,找到特定形状的最大密集包装仍然是不平凡的,是一个深入研究的课题。在这里,我们解析地构造了已知的具有$ϕ=207/208=0.995~192...$的截头四面体的稠密填充,这是惊人地接近于单位,并强烈暗示这种填充是最大稠密的。这种构造基于缺乏中心对称的多面体的广义组织原理。此外,我们发现,在这个假定的最佳包装的孔是小的正四面体,导致一个新的平铺空间的正四面体和截断四面体。我们还数值研究了平衡熔化性能的什么显然是致密包装的截断四面体作为系统进行减压。我们的模拟揭示了两种不同的稳定的晶体相,一个在高密度和其他在中等密度,以及一级液晶相变。

英文摘要:

Dense polyhedron packings are useful models of a variety of condensed matter and biological systems and have intrigued scientists mathematicians for centuries. Recently, organizing principles for the types of structures associated with the densest polyhedron packings have been put forth. However, finding the maximally dense packings for specific shapes remains nontrivial and is a subject of intensive research. Here, we analytically construct the densest known packing of truncated tetrahedra with $ϕ=207/208=0.995~192...$, which is amazingly close to unity and strongly implies that this packing is maximally dense. This construction is based on a generalized organizing principle for polyhedra that lack central symmetry. Moreover, we find that the holes in this putative optimal packing are small regular tetrahedra, leading to a new tiling of space by regular tetrahedra and truncated tetrahedra. We also numerically study the equilibrium melting properties of what apparently is the densest packing of truncated tetrahedra as the system undergoes decompression. Our simulations reveal two different stable crystal phases, one at high densities and the other at intermediate densities, as well as a first-order liquid-crystal phase transition.
