Crystallization on a sphere

چکیده
We present a parallel simulated annealing algorithm for crystallization of N-body systems. The implementation uses systolic simulated annealing with additional parallel cost function evaluation. We have a hybrid topology which consists of a systolic ring and attached to each ring processor a tree of processors. Our research topic is crystallization of particles on a spherical surface. Some results of the crystallization experiments are presented.

متن کاملCrystallization on a Sphere Using the Simulated Annealing Algorithm Implemented on H.p.c. Systems
The research presented here is a comparison of the scalability of the simulated annealing algorithm on a vector super computer (CRAY Y-MP) with the scalability of a parallel implementation on a massively parallel transputer surface (Parsytec GCel with 512 nodes of type T805). Some results of the annealing procedure applied to the crystallization of Lennard-Jones particles on a sphere are presen...
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 کاملCrystallization mechanism of hard sphere glasses.
In supercooled liquids, vitrification generally suppresses crystallization. Yet some glasses can still crystallize despite the arrest of diffusive motion. This ill-understood process may limit the stability of glasses, but its microscopic mechanism is not yet known. Here we present extensive computer simulations addressing the crystallization of monodisperse hard-sphere glasses at constant volu...
متن کاملSmall changes in particle-size distribution dramatically delay and enhance nucleation in hard sphere colloidal suspensions.
We present hard-sphere crystallization kinetics for three samples with small differences in polydispersity. We show that an increase in polydispersity of 1% is sufficient to cause dramatic changes in the crystallization kinetics: crystallization is delayed by almost one decade in time and quantitative and qualitative changes in the crystallization scenario are observed. Surprisingly the nucleat...
متن کاملCrystallization and phase separation in nonadditive binary hard-sphere mixtures
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.
