Phase diagram of Hertzian spheres.
We report the phase diagram of interpenetrating Hertzian spheres. The Hertz potential is purely repulsive, bounded at zero separation, and decreases monotonically as a power law with exponent 5/2, vanishing at the overlapping threshold. This simple functional describes the elastic interaction of weakly deformable bodies and, therefore, it is a reliable physical model of soft macromolecules, lik...
متن کاملPhase diagram of hard spheres confined between two parallel plates
A hard sphere system confined between two parallel hard plates is investigated theoretically. Using extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations, the phase diagram is calculated for the whole range of densities and plate separations ranging from one to two particle diameters. There occurs a strong first-order fluid freezing transition and both very weak and strong discontinuous phase transitions ...
متن کاملTowards the phase diagram of a polydisperse mixture of charged hard spheres
– In an effort to approach a quantitative determination of the phase diagram of polydisperse mixtures of (possibly size-asymmetric) charged hard spheres (CHS), we propose a concept that explicitly takes into account the association of the ions into dimers, i.e., an effect that is known to be of high relevance close to the liquid-vapor phase boundary in the restricted primitive model (RPM). We u...
متن کاملComplexation of DNA with positive spheres: phase diagram of charge inversion and reentrant condensation
The phase diagram of a water solution of DNA and oppositely charged spherical macroions is studied. DNA winds around spheres to form beads-on-a-string complexes resembling the chromatin 10 nm fiber. At small enough concentration of spheres these ”artificial chromatin” complexes are negative, while at large enough concentrations of spheres the charge of DNA is inverted by the adsorbed spheres. C...
متن کاملStabilizing the hexagonal close packed structure of hard spheres with polymers: Phase diagram, structure, and dynamics.
We study the phase behaviour of a binary mixture of colloidal hard spheres and freely jointed chains of beads using Monte Carlo simulations. Recently Panagiotopoulos and co-workers predicted [Nat. Commun. 5, 4472 (2014)] that the hexagonal close packed (HCP) structure of hard spheres can be stabilized in such a mixture due to the interplay between polymer and the void structure in the crystal p...
