Nearest-neighbor connectedness theory: A general approach to continuum percolation
Fabian Coupette, René de Bruijn, Petrus Bult +4
We introduce a method to estimate continuum percolation thresholds and illustrate its usefulness by investigating geometric percolation of non-interacting line segments and disks i…
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…
Structural relaxation in atomic clusters: Master equation dynamics
Mark A. Miller, Jonathan P. K. Doye, David J. Wales
The role of the potential energy landscape in determining the relaxation dynamics of model clusters is studied using a master equation. Two types of energy landscape are examined:…
Structural relaxation in Morse clusters: Energy landscapes
Mark A. Miller, Jonathan P. K. Doye, David J. Wales
We perform a comprehensive survey of the potential energy landscapes of 13-atom Morse clusters, and describe how they can be characterized and visualized. Our aim is to detail how…
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…
