abstract = {The microscopic structure of several amorphous substances often reveals complex patterns such as medium- or long-range order, spatial
heterogeneity, and even local polycrystallinity. To capture all these features, models usually incorporate a refined description of the particle
interaction that includes an ad hoc design of the inside of the system constituents and use temperature as a control parameter. We show
that all these features can emerge from a minimal athermal two-dimensional model where particles interact isotropically by a double-well
potential, which includes an excluded volume and a maximum coordination number. The rich variety of structural patterns shown by this
simple geometrical model apply to a wide range of real systems including water, silicon, and different amorphous materials.},
