Freezing of hard spheres confined in narrow cylindrical pores.

چکیده
Monte Carlo simulations for the equation of state and phase behavior of hard spheres confined inside very narrow hard tubes are presented. For pores whose radii are greater than 1.1 hard sphere diameters, a sudden change in the density and the microscopic structure of the fluid is neatly observed, indicating the onset of freezing. In the high-density structure the particles rearrange in such a way that groups of three particles fit in sections across the pore.

Dimensional crossover and the freezing transition in density functional theory
A modified geometrically based free-energy functional for hard spheres is proposed which gives reliable results even for situations of extreme confinements that reduce the effective dimensionality D. It is accurate for hard spheres between narrow plates (D = 2), inside narrow cylindrical pores (D = 1), and is exact in the 0D limit (a cavity that cannot hold more than one particle). This functio...
متن کاملHard particles in narrow pores. Transfer-matrix solution and the periodic narrow box
We derive an exact transfer-matrix solution for an infinite system of hard particles confined in a manner that precludes non-nearest-neighbor interactions. The solution takes the form of a functional eigenvalue equation which may be solved numerically for the thermodynamic and structural properties of the confined fluid. Barker [Aust. J. Phys. 15, 127 (1962)] originally derived this solution by...
متن کاملDirect determination of fluid-solid coexistence of square-well fluids confined in narrow cylindrical hard pores.
Fluid-solid phase transition and coexistence of square-well fluids confined in narrow cylindrical hard pores are characterized using molecular simulation methods. The equation of state containing a fluid phase, a solid phase and a fluid-solid coexistence state was separately obtained for different attractive ranges of potential well and pore diameters; lambda=1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 for a pore o...
متن کاملSingle file and normal dual mode diffusion in highly confined hard sphere mixtures under flow.
We use Monte Carlo simulations to study the dual-mode diffusion regime of binary and tertiary mixtures of hard spheres confined in narrow cylindrical pores under the influence of an imposed flow. The flow is introduced to the dynamics by adding a small bias directed along the long axis of the pore to the random displacement of each Monte Carlo move. As a result, the motion of the particles in a...
متن کاملHard rods in a cylindrical pore: the nematic-to-smectic phase transition.
The effect of cylindrical confinement on the phase behaviour of a system of parallel hard rods is studied using Onsager's second-virial theory. The hard rods are represented as hard cylinders of diameter D and length L, while the cylindrical pore is infinite with diameter W. The interaction between the wall and the rods is hard repulsive, and it is assumed that molecules are parallel to the sur...
