Patchy sticky hard spheres: analytical study and Monte Carlo simulations
Riccardo Fantoni, Domenico Gazzillo, Achille Giacometti +2
We consider a fluid of hard spheres bearing one or two uniform circular adhesive patches, distributed so as not to overlap. Two spheres interact via a ``sticky'' Baxter potential i…
Competition of percolation and phase separation in a fluid of adhesive hard spheres
Mark A. Miller, Daan Frenkel
Using a combination of Monte Carlo techniques, we locate the liquid--vapor critical point of adhesive hard spheres. We find that the critical point lies deep inside the gel region…
Thermodynamics and the Global Optimization of Lennard-Jones clusters
Jonathan Doye, David Wales, Mark Miller
Theoretical design of global optimization algorithms can profitably utilize recent statistical mechanical treatments of potential energy surfaces (PES's). Here we analyze the basin…
