We analyze the low-Reynolds-number translation of a sphere towards or away from a rigid plane in an Oldroyd-B fluid under two scenarios: prescribing the sphere's translational velocity, and prescribing the force on the sphere. Leveraging the lubrication approximation and a perturbation expansion in powers of the Deborah number, we develop a comprehensive theoretical analysis that yields analytical approximations for velocity fields, pressures, and forces acting on the sphere. Our framework aids in understanding temporal microstructural changes as the particle-wall gap evolves over time. In particular, we show that alterations in the polymer conformation tensor in response to geometric changes induce additional forces on the sphere. For cases with prescribed velocity, we present a theoretical approach for calculating resistive forces at any order in the Deborah number and utilize a reciprocal theorem to obtain higher-order corrections based on velocity fields in the previous orders. When the sphere translates with a constant velocity, the fluid viscoelasticity decreases the resistive force at the first order. However, at the second-order correction, the direction of the sphere's movement determines whether viscoelasticity increases or decreases the resistive force. For cases with prescribed force, we show that understanding the influence of viscoelasticity on the sphere's translational velocity necessitates a more intricate analysis even at low Deborah numbers. Specifically, we introduce an ansatz for constant force scenarios, and we derive solution forms for general prescribed forces using the method of multiple scales. We find that when a sphere undergoes sedimentation due to its own weight, the fluid viscoelasticity results in a slower settling process, reducing the leading-order sedimentation rate.

Disordered hyperuniform many-body systems are exotic states of matter with novel optical, transport, and mechanical properties. These systems are characterized by an anomalous suppression of large-scale density fluctuations compared to ordinary liquids. The structure factor of disordered hyperuniform systems often obeys the scaling relation S(k)∼Bkα with B,α>0 in the limit k→0. Ground states of d-dimensional free fermionic gases, which are fundamental models for many metals and semiconductors, are key examples of quantum disordered hyperuniform states with important connections to random matrix theory. However, the effects of electron-electron interactions as well as the polarization of the electron liquid on hyperuniformity have not been explored thus far. In this paper, we systematically address these questions by deriving the analytical small-k behaviors (and, associated, α and B) of the total and spin-resolved structure factors of quasi-one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional electron liquids for varying polarizations and interaction parameters. We validate that these equilibrium disordered ground states are hyperuniform, as dictated by the fluctuation-compressibility relation. Interestingly, free fermions, partially polarized interacting fermions, and fully polarized interacting fermions are characterized by different values of the small-k scaling exponent α and coefficient B. In particular, partially polarized fermionic liquids exhibit a unique form of multihyperuniformity, in which the net configuration exhibits a stronger form of hyperuniformity (i.e., larger α) than each individual spin component. The detailed theoretical analysis of such small-k behaviors enables the construction of corresponding equilibrium classical systems under effective one- and two-body interactions that mimic the pair statistics of quantum electron liquids. Our paper thus reveals that highly unusual hyperuniform and multihyperuniform states can be achieved in simple

Formulating order metrics that sensitively quantify the degree of order/disorder in many-particle systems in d-dimensional Euclidean space Rd across length scales is an outstanding challenge in physics, chemistry, and materials science. Since an infinite set of n-particle correlation functions is required to fully characterize a system, one must settle for a reduced set of structural information, in practice. We initiate a program to use the local number variance σN2(R) associated with a spherical sampling window of radius R (which encodes pair correlations) and an integral measure derived from it ΣN(Ri,Rj) that depends on two specified radial distances Ri and Rj. Across the first three space dimensions (d=1,2,3), we find these metrics can sensitively describe and categorize the degree of order/disorder of 41 different models of antihyperuniform, nonhyperuniform, disordered hyperuniform, and ordered hyperuniform many-particle systems at a specified length scale R. Using our local variance metrics, we demonstrate the importance of assessing order/disorder with respect to a specific value of R. These local order metrics could also aid in the inverse design of structures with prescribed length-scale-specific degrees of order/disorder that yield desired physical properties. In future work, it would be fruitful to explore the use of higher-order moments of the number of points within a spherical window of radius R [S. Torquato et al., Phys. Rev. X 11, 021028 (2021)] to devise even more sensitive order metrics.

In previous work [Phys. Rev. X 5, 021020 (2015)] it was shown that stealthy hyperuniform systems can be regarded as hard spheres in Fourier space in the sense that the structure factor is exactly zero in a spherical region around the origin in analogy with the pair-correlation function of real-space hard spheres. While this earlier work focused on spatial dimensions d=1–4, here we extend the analysis to higher dimensions in order to make connections to high-dimensional sphere packings and the mean-field theory of glasses. We exploit this correspondence to confirm that the densest Fourier-space hard-sphere system is that of a Bravais lattice in contrast to real-space hard spheres, whose densest configuration is conjectured to be disordered. In passing, we give a concise form for the position of the first Bragg peak. We also extend the virial series previously suggested for disordered stealthy hyperuniform systems to higher dimensions in order to predict spatial decorrelation as a function of dimension. This prediction is then borne out by numerical simulations of disordered stealthy hyperuniform ground states in dimensions d=2–8, which have only recently been made possible due to a highly parallelized algorithm.
