Density and Polarization Profiles of Dipolar Hard Ellipsoids Confined between Hard Walls: A Density Functional Theory Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
The density and polarization profiles of the dipolar hard ellipsoids confined between hard walls are studied using the density functional theory (DFT). The Hyper-Netted Chain (HNC) approximation is used to write excess grand potential of the system with respect to the bulk value. The number density is expanded up to zero and first order in polarization to find the results. For the zero order in polarization, the coupled integral equations for the directional densities are obtained. Then for the first order in polarization the coupled integral equations for the directional densities and polarization profiles are obtained. To simplify the calculations we use restricted orientation model (ROM) for the orientation of ellipsoids to find the density and polarization profiles. We also apply an electric field and write an expression for the excess grand potential of the system and obtain the coupled integral equations for the density and polarization profiles again. Finally we calculate the density and polarization profiles for different cases and compare the obtained results.

متن کاملDensity functional theory for hard polyhedra.
Using the framework of geometry-based fundamental-measure theory, we develop a classical density functional for hard polyhedra and their mixtures and apply it to inhomogeneous fluids of Platonic solids near a hard wall. As revealed by Monte Carlo simulations, the faceted shape of the polyhedra leads to complex layering and orientational ordering near the wall, which is excellently reproduced by...
متن کاملBehavior of the Confined Hard-sphere Fluid within Nanoslits: a Fundamental-measure Density-functional Theory Study
A property of central interest for theoretical study of nanoconfined fluids is the density distribution of molecules. The density profile of the hard-sphere fluids confined within nanoslit pores is a key quantity for understanding the configurational behavior of confined real molecules. In this report, we produce the density profile of the hard-sphere fluid confined within nanoslit pores using ...
متن کاملHard spheres at a planar hard wall: Simulations and density functional theory
Hard spheres are a central and important model reference system for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous fluid systems. In this paper we present new high-precision molecular-dynamics computer simulations for a hard sphere fluid at a planar hard wall. For this system we present benchmark data for the density profile ρ(z) at various bulk densities, the wall surface free energy γ, the excess adsorpt...
متن کاملClassical density functional theory methods in soft and hard matter.
Herein we provide a brief summary of the background, events and results/outcome of the CECAM workshop 'Classical density functional theory methods in soft and hard matter' held in Lausanne between October 21 and October 23 2009, which brought together two largely separately working communities, both of whom employ classical density functional techniques: the soft-matter community and the theore...
متن کاملQuenched-annealed density functional theory for interfacial behavior of hard rods at a hard rod matrix.
We consider a system of mobile hard rods that are immersed in an isotropic matrix of hard rods with quenched positions and orientations. Using quenched-annealed density functional theory the disorder-averaged excess free energy functional is approximated by an Onsager second virial form, which is valid in the limit of large length-to-thickness aspect ratio of the particles. We find that inside ...
