Aperiodic tilings and random packed disks: the statistical properties of oddly ordered stuff

Wednesday 19th, May 14:05-15:55pm, Carslaw Building Room 359.

In this talk we'll examine some statistical aspects of structure, phase transitions, jamming, diffusion and yield behaviour of model systems which exhibit rigidity without long range order in a heroic effort to understand the relationship between local order and particle movement in systems with complex forms of order.
