Cubic-Equivariant Neural Density Functional Theory for Three-Dimensional Lattice Fluids

Jens Weimar, Martin Oettel, Alessandro Simon

We construct a neural classical density functional that acts directly on unrestricted three-dimensional density profiles. As a computationally tractable test bed, we consider paral…

Free-volume origin of diverging direct correlations in hard crystals: insights from an exact one-dimensional model

Alessandro Simon, Martin Oettel

Second order direct correlation functions in three-dimensional hard-sphere crystals have much larger amplitudes (of the order of where is th…

Structural crossovers of quasi-one-dimensional patchy hard superellipses

Sakineh Mizani, Martin Oettel, Péter Gurin +1

We study a quasi-one-dimensional associating fluid composed of hard superellipses carrying two patches interacting through a directional Kern--Frenkel potential. Using the Transfer…

Density Profiles and Direct Correlation Functions from Density Functional Theory in Binary Hard-Sphere Crystals: Substitutional Solid and Interstitial Solid Solution

Alessandro Simon, Martin Oettel

We determine the fully resolved equilibrium density profiles for two binary hard-sphere crystal structures using classical density functional theory through the White Bear II funct…

Non-monotonic roughness evolution in film growth on weakly interacting substrates

Dmitry Lapkin, Ismael S. S. Carrasco, Catherine Cruz Luukkonen +5

Thin film deposition on weakly interacting substrates exhibits a unique growth mode characterized by initially strong island formation and rapidly increasing roughness, which reach…

Emergence of mixed orientational ordering in quasi-one-dimensional superdisk and superball fluids

Sakineh Mizani, Martin Oettel, Péter Gurin +1

We report the discovery of a mixed orientational structure in the quasi-one-dimensional fluid of hard non-spherical bodies with the exact calculation of the thermodynamic and struc…
