Layering, freezing, and re-entrant melting of hard spheres in soft confinement.
Confinement can have a dramatic effect on the behavior of all sorts of particulate systems, and it therefore is an important phenomenon in many different areas of physics and technology. Here, we investigate the role played by the softness of the confining potential. Using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, we determine the phase diagram of three-dimensional hard spheres that in one dimen...
متن کاملMelting of polydisperse colloidal crystals in nonequilibrium.
The influence of a time-dependent oscillatory external field on the melting transition of a polydisperse colloidal crystal is examined by theory and computer simulation. In a monodisperse crystal the field just induces an overall dynamical mode which does not affect the melting line. For a polydisperse sample, on the other hand, the field shifts the melting line towards smaller temperatures. Co...
متن کاملRe-entrant melting and freezing in a model system of charged colloids.
We studied the phase behavior of charged and sterically stabilized colloids using confocal microscopy in a low polarity solvent (dielectric constant 5.4). Upon increasing the colloid volume fraction we found a transition from a fluid to a body centered cubic crystal at 0.0415+/-0.0005, followed by reentrant melting at 0.1165+/-0.0015. A second crystal of different symmetry, random hexagonal clo...
متن کاملCluster formation, waterlike anomalies, and re-entrant melting for a family of bounded repulsive interaction potentials.
We introduce a family of bounded repulsive potentials, which we call the cut ramp potential, obtained by cutting a linear ramp potential at different heights. We find that for the uncut ramp potential the system shows a region of anomalous re-entrant melting (a negative slope of the melting line in the temperature-pressure phase diagram), with waterlike anomalies in the same pressure range. At ...
متن کاملElastic moduli, dislocation core energy, and melting of hard disks in two dimensions
Elastic moduli and dislocation core energy of the triangular solid of hard disks of diameter sigma are obtained in the limit of vanishing dislocation-antidislocation pair density, from Monte Carlo simulations that incorporate a constraint, namely that all moves altering the local connectivity away from that of the ideal triangular lattice are rejected. In this limit we show that the solid is st...
