Abstract
The authors present large computer simulations of the sequential random close packing of binary disc mixtures. The growth mechanism is representative of gravity deposition in two dimensions. The details of the composition dependence of the close-packing fraction are related to the form of the structural phase diagram and to the network formed from disc contacts. Limited are placed on the validity of random close-packing models for binary disc mixtures.Keywords
