Coexistence of multiple interfacial states at heterogeneous solid/liquid interface
Jiaojiao Liu, Hongtao Liang, Jinfu Li +2
The growing trend towards engineering interfacial complexion (or phase) transitions has been seen in the grain boundary and solid surface systems.Meanwhile, little attention has be…
Atomistic characterization of the SiO2 high-density liquid/low-density liquid interface
Xin Zhang, Brian B. Laird, Hongtao Liang +5
The equilibrium silica liquid-liquid interface between the high-density liquid (HDL) phase and the low-density liquid (LDL) phase is examined using molecular-dynamics simulation. T…
Local collective dynamics at equilibrium BCC crystal-melt interfaces
Xin Zhang, Wenliang Lu, Zun Liang +5
We present a classical molecular-dynamics study of the collective dynamical properties of the coexisting liquid phase at equilibrium body-centered cubic (BCC) Fe crystal-melt inter…
Kinetics of Crystallization and Orientational Ordering in Dipolar Particle Systems
Xian-Qi Xu, Brian B. Laird, Jeffrey J. Hoyt +2
The kinetic mechanisms underlying bottom-up assembly of colloidal particles have been widely investigated in efforts to control crystallization pathways and to direct growth into t…
Solid-liquid interfacial premelting
Yang Yang, Mark Asta, Brian B. Laird
We report the observation of a premelting transition at chemically sharp solid-liquid interfaces using molecular-dynamics simulations. The transition is observed in the solid-Al/li…
Direct calculation of the crystal-melt interfacial free energies for continuous potentials: Application to the Lennard-Jones system
Ruslan L. Davidchack, Brian B. Laird
Extending to continuous potentials a cleaving wall molecular-dynamics simulation method recently developed for the hard-sphere system [Phys.Rev.Lett 85, 4751 (2000)], we calculate…
