Liquid-solid transition of hard spheres under gravity
We investigate the liquid-solid transition of two-dimensional hard spheres in the presence of gravity. We determine the transition temperature and the fraction of particles in the solid regime as a function of temperature via event-driven molecular-dynamics simulations and compare them with the theoretical predictions. We then examine the configurational statistics of a vibrating bed from the v...
متن کاملCondensation of Hard Spheres Under Gravity
Starting from Enskog equation of hard spheres of mass m and diameter D under the gravity g, we first derive the exact equation of motion for the equilibrium density profile at a temperature T and examine its solutions via the gradient expansion. The solutions exist only when βμ ≤ μo ≈ 21.756 in 2 dimensions and μo ≈ 15.299 in 3 dimensions, where μ is the dimensionless initial layer thickness an...
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 کاملThe ideal glass transition of hard spheres.
We use the replica method to study the ideal glass transition of a liquid of identical hard spheres. We obtain estimates of the configurational entropy in the liquid phase, of the Kauzmann packing fraction phi(K), in the range of 0.58-0.62, and of the random close packing density phi(c), in the range of 0.64-0.67, depending on the approximation we use for the equation of state of the liquid. We...
متن کاملSolid-solid phase transition in hard ellipsoids.
We present a computer simulation study of the crystalline phases of hard ellipsoids of revolution. A previous study [P. Pfleiderer and T. Schilling, Phys. Rev. E 75, 020402 (2007)]. showed that for aspect ratios a/b>or=3 the previously suggested stretched-fcc phase [D. Frenkel and B. Mulder, Mol. Phys. 55, 1171 (1985)] is unstable with respect to a simple monoclinic phase with two ellipsoids of...
