Binary hard-sphere fluids near a hard wall
By using the Rosenfeld density functional, we determine the number density profiles of both components of binary hard-sphere fluids close to a planar hard wall as well as the corresponding excess coverage and surface tension. The comparison with published simulation data demonstrates that the Rosenfeld functional, both its original version and sophistications thereof, is superior to previous ap...
متن کاملDynamics of concentrated hard-sphere colloids near a wall.
We investigate the Brownian motion of hard-sphere colloids near a solid wall by Evanescent Wave Dynamic Light Scattering (EWDLS). We carried out measurements for various volume fractions of sterically stabilized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles over a range of scattering wave vectors, q. While in the dilute regime, the near wall short-time diffusion is significantly slowed down due to...
متن کاملOptimal packing of polydisperse hard-sphere fluids
We consider the effect of intermolecular interactions on the optimal size-distribution of N hard spheres that occupy a fixed total volume. When we minimize the free-energy of this system, within the Percus–Yevick approximation, we find that no solution exists beyond a quite low threshold (h'0.260). Monte Carlo simulations reveal that beyond this density, the size-distribution becomes bimodal. S...
متن کاملCalculation of the interfacial free energy of a binary hard-sphere fluid at a planar hard wall.
Using molecular-dynamics simulation and Gibbs-Cahn Integration, we calculate the interfacial free energy γ of a binary hard-sphere fluid mixture at a structureless, planar hard wall. The calculation is performed as a function of packing fraction (density) for several values of the diameter ratio α = σ2∕σ1, where σ1 and σ2 are the diameters of the two particle types in the mixture. Our results a...
متن کاملHard-sphere-like dynamics in a non-hard-sphere liquid.
The collective dynamics of liquid gallium close to the melting point has been studied using inelastic x-ray scattering to probe length scales smaller than the size of the first coordination shell. Although the structural properties of this partially covalent liquid strongly deviate from a simple hard-sphere model, the dynamics, as reflected in the quasielastic scattering, are beautifully descri...
