Dimeric and dipolar ground state orders in colloidal molecular crystals.
A two-dimensional colloidal suspension subject to a periodic substrate evolves into a colloidal molecular crystal under situations of strong confinement. We focus on the long-range orientational order thereby emerging, in the ground state. We study by simulations the situations where in each trap lies a pair of identical colloids, or alternatively a pair of oppositely charged macroions. We cons...
متن کاملTricriticality for dimeric Coulomb molecular crystals in ground state
We study the ground-state properties of a system of dimers. Each dimer consists in a pair of equivalent charges at a fixed distance, immersed in a neutralizing homogeneous background. All charges interact pairwisely by Coulomb potential. The dimer centers form a two-dimensional rectangular lattice with the aspect ratio α ∈ [0, 1] and each dimer is allowed to rotate around its center. The previo...
متن کاملEffect of dipolar interaction in molecular crystals.
In this paper we investigate the ground state and the nature of the transition from an orientational ordered phase at low temperature to the disordered state at high temperature in a molecular crystal. Our model is a Potts model which takes into account the exchange interaction J between nearest-neighbor molecules and a dipolar interaction between molecular axes in three dimensions. The dipolar...
متن کاملGround state structure and interactions between dimeric 2 D Wigner crystals
– We study the ground state ordering and interaction between two-dimensional Wigner crystals on neutralizing charged plates by means of computer simulation. We consider crystals formed by (i) point-like charges and (ii) charged dimers, which mimic the screening of charged surfaces by elongated multivalent ions such as dumbbell-shaped globular proteins, charged dendrimers or short stiff polyelec...
متن کاملSpontaneous circulation in ground-state spinor dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates.
We report on a study of the spin-1 ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate with magnetic dipole-dipole interactions. By solving the nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equations for this system, we find three ground-state phases. Moreover, we show that a substantial orbital angular momentum accompanied by chiral symmetry breaking emerges spontaneously in a certain parameter regime. We predict that all the...
