A simple and accurate method to determine fluid-crystal phase boundaries from direct coexistence simulations
Frank Smallenburg, Giovanni Del Monte, Marjolein de Jager +1
One method for computationally determining phase boundaries is to explicitly simulate a direct coexistence between the two phases of interest. Although this approach works very wel…

Phase behavior and crystal nucleation of hard triangular prisms
Marjolein de Jager, Nena Slaats, Laura Filion
The interplay between densification and positional ordering during the process of crystal nucleation is a greatly investigated topic. Even for the simplest colloidal model -- hard…

Statistical mechanics of crystal nuclei of hard spheres
Marjolein de Jager, Carlos Vega, Pablo Montero de Hijes +2
In the study of crystal nucleation via computer simulations, hard spheres are arguably the most extensively explored model system. Nonetheless, even in this simple model system, th…
