Kovacs effect and the relation between glasses and supercooled liquids
F. Aliotta, R. C. Ponterio, F. Saija +1
In this note we revisit the Kovacs effect, concerning the way in which the volume of a glass-forming liquid, which has been driven out of equilibrium, changes with time while the s…
Virial coefficients and demixing of athermal nonadditive mixtures
G. Pellicane, F. Saija, C. Caccamo +1
We compute the fourth virial coefficient of a binary nonadditive hard-sphere mixture over a wide range of deviations from diameter additivity and size ratios. Hinging on this knowl…
Thermodynamic stability of fluid-fluid phase separation in binary athermal mixtures: The role of nonadditivity
G. Pellicane, F. Saija, C. Caccamo +1
We study the thermodynamic stability of fluid-fluid phase separation in binary nonadditive mixtures of hard-spheres for moderate size ratios. We are interested in elucidating the r…
Smectic ordering of parallel hard spherocylinders: An entropy-based Monte Carlo study
D. Costa, F. Saija, P. V. Giaquinta
We investigated the nematic to smectic transition undergone by parallel hard spherocylinders in the framework provided by the residual multi-particle entropy (RMPE) formalism. The…
Entropy and correlations in a fluid of hard spherocylinders: The onset of nematic and smectic order
D. Costa, F. Micali, F. Saija +1
Hard spherocylinders (cylinders of length and diameter capped at both ends with two hemispheres) provide a suitable model for investigating entropy-driven, mesophase format…
