Polytetrahedral nature of the dense disordered packings of hard spheres

We study the structure of numerically simulated hard sphere packings at different densities by investigating local tetrahedral configurations of the spheres. Clusters of tetrahedra adjacent by faces present relatively dense aggregates of spheres atypical for crystals. The number of spheres participa...
