Heterogeneity in structurally arrested hard spheres
When cooled or compressed sufficiently rapidly, a liquid vitrifies into a glassy amorphous state. Vitrification in a dense liquid is associated with jamming of the particles. For hard spheres, the density and degree of order in the final structure depend on the compression rate: simple intuition suggests, and previous computer simulation demonstrates, that slower compression results in states t...
متن کاملExciting hard spheres.
We investigate the collision cascade that is generated by a single moving particle in a static and homogeneous hard-sphere gas. We argue that the number of moving particles at time t grows as t;{xi} and the number collisions up to time t grows as t;{eta} , with xi=2d(d+2) , eta=2(d+1)(d+2) , and d the spatial dimension. These growth laws are the same as those from a hydrodynamic theory for the ...
متن کاملA New Mixing Rule for Mixtures of Hard Spheres
A mixing rule for the mixtures of hard-spheres is presented which can be reduced to the standard van der Waals mixing rule at low densities. The effectiveness of the mixing rule for the size and energy parameters of lennard-Jones fluid are examined by combining them with an equation of state to calculate thermodynamic properties. The results of calculation are compared with the molecular dy...

متن کاملConfigurational entropy of hard spheres
We numerically calculate the configurational entropy Sconf of a binary mixture of hard spheres, by using a perturbed Hamiltonian method trapping the system inside a given state, which requires less assumptions than the previous methods [R.J. Speedy, Mol. Phys. 95, 169 (1998)]. We find that Sconf is a decreasing function of packing fraction φ and extrapolates to zero at the Kauzmann packing frac...
