The Most Stable Structure for Hard Spheres
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hard sphere model is known to show a liquid-solid phase transition, with the solid expected to be either face centered cubic or hexagonal close packed. The differences in free energy of the two structures is very small and various attempts have been made to determine which structure is the more stable. We contrast the different approaches and extend one. 1 Research supported in part by NSF Grant DMS-0322962 * Research supported in part by NSF Grant DMS-0354994 ** Research supported in part by NSF Grant DMS-0401655

Molecular dynamics simulation of a binary mixture lubricant for use in hard disk interfaces
In Hard Disk Drives (HDD), it is necessary to decrease the Flying Height (FH) between the head and the disk (currently, FH is around 3-5 nm) so as to increase recording densities. Retaining the solid lubricant has become a difficult proposition owing to intermittent contact between the surfaces. ZTMD and Z are used as solid lubricant to lubricate these interfaces. In this paper, the behavior of...
متن کاملA New Mixing Rule for Mixtures of Hard Spheres
A mixing rule for the mixtures of hard-spheres is presented which can be reduced to the standard van der Waals mixing rule at low densities. The effectiveness of the mixing rule for the size and energy parameters of lennard-Jones fluid are examined by combining them with an equation of state to calculate thermodynamic properties. The results of calculation are compared with the molecular dy...

متن کاملPhase Behavior and Structure of Binary Hard-Sphere Mixtures
By integrating out the degrees of freedom of the small spheres in a binary mixture of large and small hard spheres, we derive an explicit effective Hamiltonian for the large spheres. Using the two-body (depletion potential) contribution to this effective Hamiltonian in simulations, we find stable fluid-solid and both metastable fluid-fluid and solid-solid coexistence in a mixture with size rati...

متن کاملA new family in the stable homotopy groups of spheres
Let $p$ be a prime number greater than three. In this paper, we prove the existence of a new family of homotopy elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres $pi_{ast}(S)$ which is represented by $h_nh_mtilde{beta}_{s+2}in {rm Ext}_A^{s+4, q[p^n+p^m+(s+2)p+(s+1)]+s}(mathbb{Z}_p,mathbb{Z}_p)$ up to nonzero scalar in the Adams spectral sequence, where $ngeq m+2>5$, $0leq sExt}_A^{s+2,q[(s+2)p...
