Calculation of the crystal-melt interfacial free energy of succinonitrile from molecular simulation.
The crystal-metal interfacial free energy for a six-site model of succinonitrile [N triple bond C-(CH(2))(2)-C triple bond N] has been calculated using molecular-dynamics simulation from the power spectrum of capillary fluctuations in interface position. The orientationally averaged magnitude of the interfacial free energy is determined to be (7.0+/-0.4)x10(-3) J m(-2). This value is in agreeme...
متن کاملThe anisotropic hard-sphere crystal-melt interfacial free energy from fluctuations.
We have calculated the interfacial free energy for the hard-sphere system, as a function of crystal interface orientation, using a method that examines the fluctuations in the height of the interface during molecular dynamics simulations. The approach is particularly sensitive for the anisotropy of the interfacial free energy. We find an average interfacial free energy of gamma=0.56+/-0.02k(B)T...
متن کاملThe 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 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 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 ...
