Solid-solid transition of the size-polydisperse hard-sphere system
Mingcheng Yang, Hongru Ma
The solid-solid coexistence of a polydisperse hard sphere system is studied by using the Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that for large enough polydispersity the solid-sol…
A new Monte Carlo method to study the fluid-solid phase transition of polydisperse hard spheres
Mingcheng Yang, Hongru Ma
A new Monte Carlo approach is proposed to investigate the fluid-solid phase transition of the polydisperse system. By using the extended ensemble, a reversible path was constructed…
Effect of polydispersity on the relative stability of hard-sphere crystals
Mingcheng Yang, Hongru Ma
By extending the nonequilibrium potential refinement algorithm and lattice switch method to the semigrand ensemble, the semigrand potentials of the fcc and hcp structures of polydi…
Revisit of interfacial free energy of the hard sphere system near hard wall
Mingcheng Yang, Hongru Ma
We propose a simple Monte Carlo method to calculate the interfacial free energy between the substrate and the material. Using this method we investigate the interfacial free energy…
Elasticity of a polydisperse hard-sphere crystal
Mingcheng Yang, Hongru Ma
A general Monte Carlo simulation method of calculating the elastic constants of polydisperse hard-sphere colloidal crystal was developed. The elastic constants of a size polydisper…
