Crystal Growth of the Lennard-Jones (100) Surface by Means of Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics

On the basis of Onsager’s hypothesis a new method is presented to calculate growth rate constants of various crystal faces from the fluctuations of interfaces during NVT simulations. The method is applied to the (100) face of a Lennard-Jones crystal grown from the melt. The results are in perfect agreement with those obtained by means of NPT nonequilibrium simulations. The new method allows for...

Ni2As2O7 pyrochlore nanomaterial: Solid state synthesis, crystal structure determination, crystal phase growth study and physical properties

Nanostructured Ni2As2O7 semiconductor samples were synthesized by a solid state method among As2O3 and Ni(NO3)2.6H2O raw materials at 650 °C (S1) and 750 °C (S2) as reaction temperatures. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique and F...

Selection of Crystal Chirality: Equilibrium or Nonequilibrium?

To study the solution growth of crystals composed of chiral organic molecules, a spin-one Ising lattice gas model is proposed. The model turns out to be equivalent to the BlumeEmery-Griffiths model, which shows an equilibrium chiral symmetry breaking at low temperatures. The kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of crystal growth, however, demonstrates that Ostwald ripening is a very slow process with...
