Notes:
In the field of material science, especially for polydisperse materials, many questions arise which cannot be answered sufficiently and precisely without information which represents the random character of the structure in space. Computer simulation is here an effective tool used to create random arrangements of particles which may be regarded as a realistic representation of the underlying material. Of course, the presumption that the shape of each particle is a sphere is an idealization which is a certain handicap in modeling all the possible system properties. Nevertheless, it can be demonstrated that, by having an adequate subroutine, many phenomena which are influenced by the local topology of the particles and their interaction forces can be studied in more detail.
