Characterizing structural features of two-dimensional particle systems through Voronoi topology

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This paper introduces a new approach toward characterizing local structural features of two-dimensional particle systems. The approach can accurately identify and characterize defects in high-temperature crystals, distinguish a wide range of nominally disordered systems, and robustly describe complex structures such as grain boundaries. This paper also introduces two-dimensional functionality into the open-source software program VoroTop which automates this analysis. This software package is built on a recently-introduced multithreaded version of Voro++, enabling the analysis of systems with billions of particles on high-performance computer architectures.
