Calculation of the interfacial free energy of a binary hard-sphere fluid at a planar hard wall.
Using molecular-dynamics simulation and Gibbs-Cahn Integration, we calculate the interfacial free energy γ of a binary hard-sphere fluid mixture at a structureless, planar hard wall. The calculation is performed as a function of packing fraction (density) for several values of the diameter ratio α = σ2∕σ1, where σ1 and σ2 are the diameters of the two particle types in the mixture. Our results a...
متن کاملInterfacial free energy of a hard-sphere fluid in contact with curved hard surfaces.
Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we have calculated the interfacial free energy γ between a hard-sphere fluid and hard spherical and cylindrical colloidal particles, as functions of the particle radius R and the fluid packing fraction η=ρσ(3)/6, where ρ and σ are the number density and hard-sphere diameter, respectively. These results verify that Hadwiger's theorem from integral geometry, w...
متن کاملBinary hard-sphere fluids near a hard wall
By using the Rosenfeld density functional, we determine the number density profiles of both components of binary hard-sphere fluids close to a planar hard wall as well as the corresponding excess coverage and surface tension. The comparison with published simulation data demonstrates that the Rosenfeld functional, both its original version and sophistications thereof, is superior to previous ap...
متن کاملCalculation of inhomogeneous-fluid cluster expansions with application to the hard-sphere∕hard-wall system.
We examine the suitability of cluster expansion methods for the description of inhomogeneous fluids. In particular, we apply these methods to characterize the density profile, surface tension, and excess adsorption for a hard-sphere fluid near a hard wall. Coefficients for these series up to seventh order are evaluated by the Mayer-sampling Monte Carlo method. Comparison of the series to Monte ...
متن کاملCalculation of the interfacial free energy of a fluid at a static wall by Gibbs-Cahn integration.
The interface between a fluid and a static wall is a useful model for a chemically heterogeneous solid-liquid interface. In this work, we outline the calculation of the wall-fluid interfacial free energy (gamma(wf)) for such systems using molecular simulation combined with adsorption equations based on Cahn's extension of the surface thermodynamics of Gibbs. As an example, we integrate such an ...
