The mold integration method for the calculation of the crystal-fluid interfacial free energy from simulations.
The interfacial free energy between a crystal and a fluid, γcf, is a highly relevant parameter in phenomena such as wetting or crystal nucleation and growth. Due to the difficulty of measuring γcf experimentally, computer simulations are often used to study the crystal-fluid interface. Here, we present a novel simulation methodology for the calculation of γcf. The methodology consists in using ...
متن کاملInterfacial and wetting properties of a binary point Yukawa fluid.
We investigate the interfacial phase behavior of a binary fluid mixture composed of repulsive point Yukawa particles. Using a simple approximation for the Helmholtz free energy functional, which yields the random phase approximation for the pair direct correlation functions, we calculate the equilibrium fluid density profiles of the two species of particles adsorbed at a planar wall. We show th...
متن کاملCrystal-melt interfacial free energies of hard-dumbbell systems.
The crystal-melt interfacial free energies of different crystal orientations and crystal forms for the hard-dumbbell systems have been calculated directly using a multistep thermodynamic perturbation method via nonequilibrium work measurements with a cleaving procedure. We found that for the plastic crystal phase, the interfacial free energies decrease as the reduced bond length L* increases an...
متن کاملInterfacial free energy of a hard-sphere fluid in contact with curved hard surfaces.
Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we have calculated the interfacial free energy γ between a hard-sphere fluid and hard spherical and cylindrical colloidal particles, as functions of the particle radius R and the fluid packing fraction η=ρσ(3)/6, where ρ and σ are the number density and hard-sphere diameter, respectively. These results verify that Hadwiger's theorem from integral geometry, w...
متن کاملPrediction of anisotropic crystal-melt interfacial free energy of sugar alcohols through molecular simulations
Sugar alcohols have been recently under investigation for their use as phase change materials in long-term heat storage systems. The thermal performances in such systems are strongly dominated by the nucleation and crystal growth kinetics, which on their turn are linked to the crystal-melt interfacial free energy γSL. We report a novel technique using first principle calculations to accurately ...
