Non-Gaussian Dynamics in Smectic Liquid Crystals of Parallel Hard Rods

Rik Matena, Marjolein Dijkstra, Alessandro Patti

Using computer simulations, we studied the diffusion and structural relaxation in equilibrium smectic liquid crystal bulk phases of parallel hard spherocylinders. These systems exh…

Computer simulations of the restricted primitive model at very low temperature and density

Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken +2

The problem of successfully simulating ionic fluids at low temperature and low density states is well known in the simulation literature: using conventional methods, the system is…

A Triangular Tessellation Scheme for the Adsorption Free Energy at the Liquid-Liquid Interface: Towards Non-Convex Patterned Colloids

Joost de Graaf, Marjolein Dijkstra, Rene van Roij

We introduce a new numerical technique, namely triangular tessellation, to calculate the free energy associated with the adsorption of a colloidal particle at a flat interface. The…

Phase diagram of hard colloidal platelets: a theoretical account

H. H. Wensink, H. N. W. Lekkerkerker

We construct the complete liquid crystal phase diagram of hard plate-like cylinders for variable aspect ratio using Onsager's second virial theory with the Parsons-Lee decoupling a…

Rouse Modes of Self-avoiding Flexible Polymers

Debabrata Panja, Gerard T. Barkema

Using a lattice-based Monte Carlo code for simulating self-avoiding flexible polymers in three dimensions in the absence of explicit hydrodynamics, we study their Rouse modes. For…

Out-of-equilibrium processes in suspensions of oppositely charged colloids: liquid-to-crystal nucleation and gel formation

Eduardo Sanz, Chantal Valeriani, Teun Vissers +5

We study the kinetics of the liquid-to-crystal transformation and of gel formation in colloidal suspensions of oppositely charged particles. We analyse, by means of both computer s…
