Interfacial 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 کاملCalculation 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 کاملThe anisotropic hard-sphere crystal-melt interfacial free energy from fluctuations.
We have calculated the interfacial free energy for the hard-sphere system, as a function of crystal interface orientation, using a method that examines the fluctuations in the height of the interface during molecular dynamics simulations. The approach is particularly sensitive for the anisotropy of the interfacial free energy. We find an average interfacial free energy of gamma=0.56+/-0.02k(B)T...
متن کاملGaussian statistics of the hard-sphere fluid
By computer simulation of the hard-sphere fluid, we have determined the probabilities of observing N molecular centers within molecular sized volumes of the fluid. These probability distributions are found to be almost exactly Gaussian at medium densities. A maximum entropy prediction constructed from knowledge of the first two moments of the distribution and a prior distribution consistent wit...
متن کاملHard-sphere-like dynamics in a non-hard-sphere liquid.
The collective dynamics of liquid gallium close to the melting point has been studied using inelastic x-ray scattering to probe length scales smaller than the size of the first coordination shell. Although the structural properties of this partially covalent liquid strongly deviate from a simple hard-sphere model, the dynamics, as reflected in the quasielastic scattering, are beautifully descri...
