We study the effect of finite temperatures on jammed packings. The packings are obtained through a standard energy minimization protocol. We then study their thermodynamic properties by simulating them at finite temperature through a Monte Carlo Metropolis scheme. Based on our simulation model, we can determine mechanical and thermodynamical properties and how they behave for different temperatures, external pressure and coordination numbers. The quantities we measure comprise the thermal expansion, bulk and shear modulus as well as the phase diagram. Together with theoretical arguments we can explain crucial parts of the results and the scaling behaviour. In the last step we connect those findings to real materials such as silica glass.
