Large attractive depletion interactions in soft repulsive-sphere binary mixtures.
We consider binary mixtures of soft repulsive spherical particles and calculate the depletion interaction between two big spheres mediated by the fluid of small spheres, using different theoretical and simulation methods. The validity of the theoretical approach, a virial expansion in terms of the density of the small spheres, is checked against simulation results. Attention is given to the app...
متن کاملControlling the formation of capillary bridges in binary liquid mixtures.
We study the formation of capillary bridges between micrometer-sized glass spheres immersed in a binary liquid mixture using bright field and confocal microscopy. The bridges form upon heating due to the preferential wetting of the hydrophilic glass surface by the water-rich phase. If the system is cooled below the demixing temperature, the bridges disappear within a few seconds by intermolecul...
متن کاملClustering in Interfering Binary Mixtures
Colloids are binary mixtures of molecules with one type of molecule suspended in another. It is believed that at low density typical configurations will be well-mixed throughout, while at high density they will separate into clusters. We characterize the high and low density phases for a general family of discrete interfering binary mixtures by showing that they exhibit a “clustering property” ...
متن کاملA new binary decagonal Frank-Kasper quasicrystal phase
A structure model of atoms of two sizes, interacting with Lennard-Jones potentials and simulated by molecular dynamics, was observed to freeze into a decagonal quasicrystal dominated by Frank-Kasper coordination shells and closely related to the Henley-Elser model for icosahedral quasicrystals. Idealized structure models can be described as decorations of triangle-rectangle and rhombus tilings....
متن کاملCompositional Modeling of Wax Formation in Petroleum Mixtures
Heavy organics deposition is a common problem in oil industry, especially in oil production, transportation and processing. Wax or solid paraffin series are examples of heavy organics that deposit. Precipitation and crystallization of wax causes major difficulties in different processes. Based on multi-solid theory, a basic model is modified in this paper for wax precipitation in different oils...
