Ginzburg-Landau theory of the liquid-solid interface and nucleation for hard spheres.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional for hard spheres is constructed using the fundamental measure theory approach to density functional theory as a starting point. The functional is used to study the liquid-fcc solid planer interface and the properties of small solid clusters nucleating within a liquid. The surface tension for planer interfaces agrees well with simulation and it is found that the properties of the solid clusters are consistent with classical nucleation theory.

Exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation by the first integral method
The first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. This method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. In this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation.
متن کاملSystematic improvement of classical nucleation theory.
We reconsider the applicability of classical nucleation theory (CNT) to the calculation of the free energy of solid cluster formation in a liquid and its use to the evaluation of interface free energies from nucleation barriers. Using two different freezing transitions (hard spheres and NaCl) as test cases, we first observe that the interface-free-energy estimates based on CNT are generally in ...
متن کاملA Model for Nonclassical Nucleation of Solid-Solid Structural Phase Transformations
A new model for homogeneous nucleation of structural phase transformations, which can span the range of nucleation from classical to nonclassical, is presented. This model is extended from the classical nucleation theory by introducing driving-force dependencies into the interfacial free energy, themisfit strain energy, and the nucleus chemical free-energy change in order to capture the nonclas...

The weighted density functional theory proposed by Tarazona is applied to study the solid-liquid interface. In the last two decades the weighted density functional became a useful tool to consider the properties of inhomogeneous liquids. In this theory, the role of the size of molecules or the particles of which the matter is composed, was found to be important. In this resarch we study a har...
