Origin of line tension for a Lennard-Jones nanodroplet
The existence and origin of line tension has remained controversial in literature. To address this issue, we compute the shape of Lennard-Jones nanodrops using molecular dynamics and compare them to density functional theory in the approximation of the sharp kink interface. We show that the deviation from Young’s law is very small and would correspond to a typical line tension length scale defi...
متن کاملSurface tension of a Lennard-Jones liquid under supersaturation.
A formally exact Kirkwood-Buff virial formula for the surface tension of a supersaturated interface is derived. A modified Gibbs ensemble method is given that allows the creation of interacting supersaturated phases of equal chemical potential, and which enables the Kirkwood-Buff formula to be applied. The methods are tested by Monte Carlo simulation of a supersaturated Lennard-Jones fluid with...
متن کاملContinuous extremal optimization for Lennard-Jones clusters.
We explore a general-purpose heuristic algorithm for finding high-quality solutions to continuous optimization problems. The method, called continuous extremal optimization (CEO), can be considered as an extension of extremal optimization and consists of two components, one which is responsible for global searching and the other which is responsible for local searching. The CEO's performance pr...
متن کاملLennard-Jones Potential inside a Spherical Cavity
The Lennard-Jones potential for an atom inside a conducting spherical cavity is derived. The interest is in possible anomalous effects near the focal point of a cavity viewed as a spherical mirror. We find a smooth dependence of the potential on the distance of the atom from the surface of the cavity. 1 Plane Mirror and the C3 coefficient Let us consider first a plane mirror, assumed to lie in ...
متن کاملHydrophobicity in Lennard-Jones solutions.
The analogue of the hydrophobic hydration is explored for Lennard-Jones solutions. The free energy of solvation and its temperature derivatives, both in the constant-pressure process and in the constant-volume process, are obtained numerically for a variety of the size and energy parameters for the solute-solvent Lennard-Jones potential. We identify in the parameter space a region in which the ...
