Global phase diagrams for dipolar fluids.

چکیده
Fluids of molecules or particles interacting through dipole forces describe polar liquids and colloidal suspensions such as ferroQuids and electrorheological fluids. Phase diagrams for systems with strong dipolar coupling are not precisely known. Possible liquid state phase transitions include phase separation and spontaneous polarization. We present a set of generic phase diagrams for the Huid states of dipolar spheres and spheroids, focusing on the interplay of polarization and phase separation.

Orientational order in dipolar fluids consisting of nonspherical hard particles
We investigate fluids of dipolar hard particles by a certain variant of density-functional theory. The proper treatment of the long range of the dipo-lar interactions yields a contribution to the free energy which favors ferromag-netic order. This corrects previous theoretical analyses. We determine phase diagrams for dipolar ellipsoids and spherocylinders as a function of the aspect ratio of t...
متن کاملPhase Behavior of Dipolar Fluids and Ion–dipole Mixtures, and Surface Diffusion of Adsorbed Polymers by Won Ki Roh
Dipole moments are ubiquitous in nature. Studying dipole moments is the first step toward understanding phase behavior of various colloids with strong dipole moments. Since the Dipolar Hard Sphere fluid (DHS) is the simplest model described by dipolar interactions, studying this model is fundamentally important for understanding the structures and thermodynamics of polar fluids. A variety of un...
متن کاملDimensionality Effects in Dipolar Fluids: A Density Functional Theory Study
Using classical density functional theory (DFT) in a modified mean-field approximation we investigate the fluid phase behavior of quasi-two dimensional dipolar fluids confined to a plane. The particles carry three-dimensional dipole moments and interact via a combination of hard-sphere, van-der-Waals, and dipolar interactions. The DFT predicts complex phase behavior involving firstand second-or...
متن کاملPhase transitions and ordering of confined dipolar fluids.
We apply a modified mean-field density functional theory to determine the phase behavior of Stockmayer fluids in slit-like pores formed by two walls with identical substrate potentials. Based on the Carnahan-Starling equation of state, a fundamental-measure theory is employed to incorporate the effects of short-ranged hard-sphere-like correlations while the long-ranged contributions to the flui...
متن کاملPhase behavior of dipolar fluids from a modified statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable range.
A statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable range to model dipolar fluids is presented. The new theory, termed the SAFT-VR+D equation (the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable range plus dipole), explicitly accounts for dipolar interactions and their effect on the structure of the fluid. This is achieved through the use of the generalized mean sp...
