Crystal nuclei in melts: A Monte Carlo simulation of a model for attractive colloids
Antonia Statt, Peter Virnau, Kurt Binder
As a model for a suspension of hard-sphere like colloidal particles where small nonadsorbing dissolved polymers create a depletion attraction, we introduce an effective colloid-col…

Sequence determines degree of knottedness in a coarse-grained protein model
Thomas Wüst, Daniel Reith, Peter Virnau
Knots are abundant in globular homopolymers but rare in globular proteins. To shed new light on this long-standing conundrum, we study the influence of sequence on the formation of…

Finite size effects on liquid-solid phase coexistence and the estimation of crystal nucleation barriers
Antonia Statt, Peter Virnau, Kurt Binder
A fluid in equilibrium in a finite volume with particle number at a density exceeding the onset density of freezing may exhibit phase coexistence between a…
