Fluid-solid phase separation in hard-sphere mixtures is unrelated to bond percolation
In a recent Letter, Buhot [1] proposes that entropy driven phase separation in hard-core binary mixtures is directly related to a bond-percolation transition. In particular, Buhot suggests that a phase instability occurs when the coordination number n b , defined as n b r l Z s l #r#s l ͑11R͒ g ll ͑r͒ dr , (1) is equal to zp c , where z is the coordination number of a particular crystal lattice, ...
متن کاملFluid-solid transitions on walls in binary hard-sphere mixtures
– We present measurements and theory of a fluid-solid phase transition at a hard, flat wall in a two-sized hard-sphere mixture. With particle concentrations well below the level for bulk phase separation, a fluid monolayer (enriched in the larger spheres) forms at the wall. At slightly higher concentrations, the wall-fluid freezes into a wall-solid phase which coexists with the bulk fluid. Meas...
متن کاملCrystallization and phase separation in nonadditive binary hard-sphere mixtures
We calculate for the first time the full phase diagram of an asymmetric nonadditivehard-sphere mixture. The nonadditivity strongly affects the crystallization and the fluid-fluid phase separation. The global topology of the phase diagram is controlled by an effective size ratio y(eff), while the fluid-solid coexistence scales with the depth of the effective potential well.
متن کاملNonadditive hard-sphere fluid mixtures: a simple analytical theory.
We construct a nonperturbative fully analytical approximation for the thermodynamics and the structure of nonadditive hard-sphere fluid mixtures. The method essentially lies in a heuristic extension of the Percus-Yevick solution for additive hard spheres. Extensive comparison with Monte Carlo simulation data shows a generally good agreement, especially in the case of like-like radial distributi...
متن کاملCompetition of percolation and phase separation in a fluid of adhesive hard spheres.
Using a combination of Monte Carlo techniques, we locate the liquid-vapor critical point of adhesive hard spheres. We find that the critical point lies deep inside the gel region of the phase diagram. The (reduced) critical temperature and density are tau(c)=0.1133+/-0.0005 and rho(c)=0.508+/-0.01. We compare these results with the available theoretical predictions. Using a finite-size scaling ...
