Polydispersity and the fluid-crystalline phase transition
2014 A « critical » degree of polydispersity is postulated beyond which liquid and crystalline states merge. For a system with a triangular particle-size distribution, the disappearance of the melting transition is estimated to occur at levels of just less than 30 % polydispersity. J.

متن کاملPhase transition of the dry friction between crystalline surfaces induced by normal load
A major source of energy dissipation and surface wear is the kinetic friction at the interfaces of sliding bodies. Traditionally, on a macroscopic scale, this undesirable effect is reduced with lubricating the surfaces by introducing oil into their interface. An interesting phenomenon, called superlubricity, has been reported on a nanometer scale where dry (without lubricant oil) fruition and w...
متن کاملDynamic properties near the columnar-crystalline phase transition
2014 Dynamic quantities are computed near the transition from the columnar to the crystalline phase. The enhancement from order parameter fluctuations of the viscosities 03BD1 and 03BD3 is found to be proportional to the first power of the correlation length. We briefly describe how the 03C9-1/2 divergence of viscosities predicted in the columnar phase by Ramaswamy and Toner is suppressed near ...
متن کاملPolydispersity in Colloidal Phase Transitions
I have studied the effects of polydispersity on the phase behaviour of suspensions of PMMA colloidal spheres on their own and in the presence of non-adsorbed polymer. I systematically explored the volume fraction–polydispersity (φ − σ) phase behaviour of hard spheres (with radii R =167, 244, 300 and 303nm) through direct observations and crystallography measurements. I observed normal crystalli...
متن کاملOn polydispersity and the hard sphere glass transition.
We investigate the dynamics of polydisperse hard spheres at high packing fractions ϕ. We use extensive numerical simulations based on an experimentally-realistic particle size distribution (PSD) and compare to commonly-used PSDs such as Gaussian or top hat distribution. We find that the mode of kinetic arrest depends on the PSD's shape and not only on its variance. For the experimentally-realis...
