Dense sphere packings from optimized correlation functions.
Elementary smooth functions (beyond contact) are employed to construct pair correlation functions that mimic jammed disordered sphere packings. Using the g_{2} -invariant optimization method of Torquato and Stillinger [J. Phys. Chem. B 106, 8354 (2002)], parameters in these functions are optimized under necessary realizability conditions to maximize the packing fraction varphi and average numbe...
متن کاملCalculation of the entropy of binary hard sphere mixtures from pair correlation functions
The evaluation of the entropy of a liquid has wide applications in protein folding, I micelle formation, 2 membrane studies/ the hydrophobic effect,3 ion solvation,4 and other studies of solutions,5-9 but remains a difficult problem, both for computational and analytic statistical mechanics. In this paper we evaluate the nonideal contribution to the entropy of mixing for a simple binary liquid,...
متن کاملMultiple-point and multiple-time correlation functions in a hard-sphere fluid.
A recent mode-coupling theory of higher-order correlation functions is tested on a simple hard-sphere fluid system at intermediate densities. Multiple-point and multiple-time correlation functions of the densities of conserved variables are calculated in the hydrodynamic limit and compared to results obtained from event-based molecular dynamics simulations. It is demonstrated that the mode-coup...
متن کاملDecay of correlation functions in hard-sphere mixtures: structural crossover.
We investigate the decay of pair correlation functions in a homogeneous (bulk) binary mixture of hard spheres. At a given state point the asymptotic decay r-->infinity of all three correlation functions is governed by a common exponential decay length and a common wavelength of oscillations. Provided the mixture is sufficiently asymmetric, size ratios q less than or approximately 0.7, we find t...
متن کاملStructural properties of dense hard sphere packings.
We numerically study structural properties of mechanically stable packings of hard spheres (HS), in a wide range of packing fractions 0.53 ≤ ϕ ≤ 0.72. Detailed structural information is obtained from the analysis of orientational order parameters, which clearly reveals a disorder-order phase transition at the random close packing (RCP) density, ϕc ≃ 0.64. Above ϕc, the crystalline nuclei form 3...
