The local number variance associated with a spherical sampling window of radius $R$ enables a classification of many-particle systems in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space according to the degree to which large-scale density fluctuations are suppressed, resulting in a demarcation between hyperuniform and nonhyperuniform phyla. To better characterize density fluctuations, we carry out an extensive study of higher-order moments, including the skewness $\gamma_1(R)$, excess kurtosis $\gamma_2(R)$ and…

Structural characterization of many-particle systems on approach to hyperuniform states.
The focus of this work is the exploration of quantitative descriptors that herald when a many-particle system in d-dimensional Euclidean space R^{d} approaches a hyperuniform state as a function of the relevant control parameter.

Hyperuniformity and its generalizations.
It is shown that there exist many-particle ground-state configurations in which directional hyperuniformity imparts exotic anisotropic physical properties to these states of matter, which could have technological relevance for manipulating light and sound waves in ways heretofore not thought possible.
