Gas-solid coexistence of adhesive spheres.
The Baxter limit of adhesive spheres is often deemed an unphysical model for liquids due to the thermodynamic metastability of its disordered phases with respect to crystal formation. In this note we use basic free energy considerations to suggest conditions under which the disordered phases are actually stable with respect to the solid for narrow attractive interactions down to the Baxter limi...
متن کاملEquilibrium fluid-solid coexistence of hard spheres.
We present a tethered Monte Carlo simulation of the crystallization of hard spheres. Our method boosts the traditional umbrella sampling to the point of making practical the study of constrained Gibbs' free energies depending on several crystalline order parameters. We obtain high-accuracy estimates of the fluid-crystal coexistence pressure for up to 2916 particles (enough to accommodate fluid-...
متن کاملNo evidence of gas-liquid coexistence in dipolar hard spheres.
We report accurate calculations of the particle density of states in the dipolar hard-sphere fluid. Implementing efficient and tailored Monte Carlo algorithms, we are able to explore, in equilibrium, the low temperature region where a phase separation between a dilute gas of chain ends and a high-density liquid of chain junctions has been predicted to occur. Our data clearly show that the densi...
متن کاملAdhesive interactions of viscoelastic spheres
We develop an analytical theory of adhesive interaction of viscoelastic spheres in quasistatic approximation. Deformations and deformation rates are assumed to be small, which allows for the application of the Hertz contact theory, modified to account for viscoelastic forces. The adhesion interactions are described by the Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts theory. Using the quasistatic approximation...
متن کاملLigand mediated adhesive mechanics of two deformed spheres
A self-consistent model is developed to investigate attachment / detachment kinetics of two soft, deformable microspheres with irregular surface and coated with flexible binding ligands. The model highlights how the microscale binding kinetics of these ligands as well as the attractive/repulsive potential of the charged surface affects the static deformed configuration of the spheres. It is sho...
