Is directed percolation in colloid-polymer mixtures linked to dynamic arrest?
David Richard, C. Patrick Royall, Thomas Speck
Using computer simulations, we study the dynamic arrest in a schematic model of colloid-polymer mixtures combining short-ranged attractions with long-ranged repulsions. The arreste…
Crystallization of hard spheres revisited. II. Thermodynamic modeling, nucleation work, and the surface of tension
David Richard, Thomas Speck
Combining three numerical methods (forward flux sampling, seeding of droplets, and finite size droplets), we probe the crystallization of hard spheres over the full range from clos…
Crystallization of hard spheres revisited. I. Extracting kinetics and free energy landscape from forward flux sampling
David Richard, Thomas Speck
We investigate the kinetics and the free energy landscape of the crystallization of hard spheres from a supersaturated metastable liquid though direct simulations and forward flux…
Coupling between criticality and gelation in "sticky" spheres: A structural analysis
David Richard, James Hallett, Thomas Speck +1
We combine experiments and simulations to study the link between criticality and gelation in sticky spheres. We employ confocal microscopy to image colloid-polymer mixtures, and Mo…
