Crystallization and phase separation in nonadditive binary hard-sphere mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate for the first time the full phase diagram of an asymmetric nonadditivehard-sphere mixture. The nonadditivity strongly affects the crystallization and the fluid-fluid phase separation. The global topology of the phase diagram is controlled by an effective size ratio y(eff), while the fluid-solid coexistence scales with the depth of the effective potential well.

Theory of asymmetric nonadditive binary hard-sphere mixtures.
It is shown that the formal procedure of integrating out the degrees of freedom of the small spheres in a binary hard-sphere mixture works equally well for nonadditive as it does for additive mixtures. For highly asymmetric mixtures (small size ratios) the resulting effective Hamiltonian of the one-component fluid of big spheres, which consists of an infinite number of many-body interactions, s...
متن کاملMulticomponent fluid of nonadditive hard spheres near a wall.
A recently proposed rational-function approximation [Phys. Rev. E 84, 041201 (2011)] for the structural properties of nonadditive hard spheres is applied to evaluate analytically (in Laplace space) the local density profiles of multicomponent nonadditive hard-sphere mixtures near a planar nonadditive hard wall. The theory is assessed by comparison with NVT Monte Carlo simulations of binary mixt...
متن کاملCrystallization of dense binary hard-sphere mixtures with marginal size ratio.
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed for binary hard-sphere mixtures with a size ratio of gamma =0.9 and a volume fraction of phi=0.58 over a range of compositions. We show how, at this high volume fraction, crystallization depends sensitively on the composition. Evidence is presented that crystallization in these mixtures does not proceed by the standard nucleation and growth paradigm....
متن کاملFundamental measure density functional theory for nonadditive hard-core mixtures: the one-dimensional case.
We treat a one-dimensional binary mixture of hard-core particles that possess nonadditive diameters. For this model, a density functional theory is constructed following similar principles as an earlier extension of Rosenfeld's fundamental measure theory to three-dimensional nonadditive hard-sphere mixtures. The theory applies to arbitrary positive and moderate negative nonadditivity and reduce...
متن کاملMixtures of charged colloid and neutral polymer: influence of electrostatic interactions on demixing and interfacial tension.
The equilibrium phase behavior of a binary mixture of charged colloids and neutral, nonadsorbing polymers is studied within free-volume theory. A model mixture of charged hard-sphere macroions and ideal, coarse-grained, effective-sphere polymers is mapped first onto a binary hard-sphere mixture with nonadditive diameters and then onto an effective Asakura-Oosawa model [S. Asakura and F. Oosawa,...
