Data package: Characterizing the cage state of glassy systems and its sensitivity to frozen boundaries

This package provides all resources necessary to reproduce the results and analyses from the study on the binary hard-sphere glass presented in the paper 'Characterizing the cage state of glassy systems and its sensitivity to frozen boundaries'. In the study, we characterize the cage state (CS), a structural quantity that represents the average positions of particles when rearrangements are forbidden. We investigate how the CS in a binary hard-sphere mixture depends on packing fraction and boundary conditions. To do so, we adopt a methodology inspired by point-to-set correlation measurements, in which particles outside a spherical cavity are frozen while the cage state is measured inside the cavity. Package structure [CODES]: Scripts to initialize glass configurations, measure dynamic evolution (dynamic propensity), and compute the cage state in both unfrozen systems and cavities. [DATA]: Initial configurations, propensities, cage states (frozen and unfrozen), and the standard deviation (SD) of particle positions within their cages for all studied systems. [FIGURES]: All figures from the paper, along with analysis notebooks, Adobe Illustrator files, and supporting data for figure generation. Each directory contains a READ_ME.txt file that describes the content of the directory.
