The Early Crystal Nucleation Process in Hard Spheres shows Synchronised Ordering and Densification

Joshua T. Berryman, Muhammad Anwar, Sven Dorosz +1

We investigate the early part of the crystal nucleation process in the hard sphere fluid using data produced by computer simulation. We find that hexagonal order manifests continuo…
