Freezing of parallel hard cubes with rounded edges.
The freezing transition in a classical three-dimensional system of rounded hard cubes with fixed, equal orientations is studied by computer simulation and fundamental-measure density functional theory. By switching the rounding parameter s from zero to one, one can smoothly interpolate between cubes with sharp edges and hard spheres. The equilibrium phase diagram of rounded parallel hard cubes ...
متن کاملFree minimization of the fundamental measure theory functional: Freezing of parallel hard squares and cubes.
Due to remarkable advances in colloid synthesis techniques, systems of squares and cubes, once an academic abstraction for theorists and simulators, are nowadays an experimental reality. By means of a free minimization of the free-energy functional, we apply fundamental measure theory to analyze the phase behavior of parallel hard squares and hard cubes. We compare our results with those obtain...
متن کاملNear and Far-Field Properties of Nanoprisms with Rounded Edges
Photonic devices can be developed, and their working principle can be understood only by considering the phenomena taking place at the nanoscale level. Optical properties of plasmonic structures depend on their geometric parameters and are sensitive to them. Recently, many advanced methods for the preparation of nanostructures have been proposed; however still, the geometric parameters are inac...
متن کاملClosed virial equations for hard parallel cubes andsquares
A correlation between maxima in virial coefficients (Bn), and “kissing” numbers for hard hyper-spheres up to dimension D = 5, indicates a virial equation and close-packing relationship. Known virial coefficients up to B7, both for hard parallel cubes and squares, indicate that the limiting differences Bn – B(n-1) behave similar to spheres and disks, in the respective expansions relative to maxi...
متن کاملFreezing transition of hard hyperspheres.
We investigate the system of D-dimensional hard spheres in D-dimensional space, where D>3. For the fluid phase of these hyperspheres, we generalize scaled-particle theory to arbitrary D and furthermore use the virial expansion and the Percus-Yevick integral equation. For the crystalline phase, we adopt cell theory based on elementary geometrical assumptions about close-packed lattices. Regardle...
