Temperature-pressure scaling for air-fluidized grains on approaches to Point J
L. J. Daniels, T. K. Haxton, N. Xu +2
We present experiments on a monolayer of air-fluidized beads in which a jamming transition is approached by increasing pressure, increasing packing fraction, and decreasing kinetic…
Design rules for the self-assembly of a protein crystal
Thomas K. Haxton, Stephen Whitelam
Theories of protein crystallization based on spheres that form close-packed crystals predict optimal assembly within a `slot' of second virial coefficients and enhanced assembly ne…
Analyzing mechanisms and microscopic reversibility of self-assembly
James Grant, Robert L. Jack, Stephen Whitelam
We use computer simulations to investigate self-assembly in a system of model chaperonin proteins, and in an Ising lattice gas. We discuss the mechanisms responsible for rapid and…
Mapping the glassy dynamics of soft spheres onto hard-sphere behavior
Michael Schmiedeberg, Thomas K. Haxton, Sidney R. Nagel +1
We show that the dynamics of soft-sphere systems with purely repulsive interactions can be described by introducing an effective hard-sphere diameter determined using the Andersen-…
Ratio of effective temperature to pressure controls the mobility of sheared hard spheres
Thomas K. Haxton
Using molecular dynamics simulation, we calculate fluctuations and response for steadily sheared hard spheres over a wide range of packing fractions and shear strain rates ,…
