Two-dimensional Crystallisation on Spherical Surfaces
We report results of a computational study on 2D crystallisation for a 25-particle Lennard-Jones system on a spherical surface, as a function of radius. The energy is minimised using simulated annealing and steepest descent methods. Different crystalline arrangements with clear energy minima are found at different radii. Qualitatively, most of the observed phenomena are representative also for ...
متن کاملThe Modified Lennard-Jones and Devonshire Equation of State
Lennard-Jones-Devonshire equation of state is an old but theoretical based EOS. The concept of the nearest neighboring molecules or coordination number is proposed to be a function of temperature and volume, whereas it is a constant in the original. The dilute gas and hard sphere limits of molecules are employed to determine this function. Improvement of this modification is demonstrated by pro...
متن کاملLennard-Jones parameters for combustion and chemical kinetics modeling from full-dimensional intermolecular potentials
Lennard-Jones parameters for use in combustion modeling, as transport parameters and in pressure-dependent rate-coefficient calculations as collision rate parameters, are calculated from accurate full-dimensional intermolecular potentials. Several first-principles theoretical methods are considered. In the simplest approach, the intermolecular potential is isotropically averaged and used to det...
متن کاملCaloric Curves in two and three - dimensional Lennard - Jones - like systems including Long - range forces
We present a systematic study of the thermodynamics of two and three-dimensional generalized Lennard-Jones (LJ) systems focusing on the relationship between the range of the potential, the system density and its dimension. We found that the existence of negative specific heats depends on these three factors and not only on the potential range and the density of the system as stated in recent co...
متن کاملLennard-Jones Energy Parameter for Pure Fluids from Scaled Particle Theory
By considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (SPT) based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. At the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between c...
