Abstract: | In previous work we pointed out that clusters of particles built through sequential quenching show increasing degrees of order as the temperature is lowered. In the low-temperature limit, a two-dimensional model system with a nondegenerate ground state would result in a perfect crystal. The opposite, high-temperature, limit corresponds to the case of random sequential addition (RSA). In the present work we study the continuous evolution from disorder to order at intermediate states using a triangular well potential to represent particle interactions. We investigate radial and bond-orientation correlation functions and the bond order parameter as measures of the degree of crystallinity of the structures up to a reduced number density of 0.65, which is close to the jamming limit of RSA. |
