Glassy dynamics and a growing structural length scale in supercooled nanoparticles
Weikai Qi, Shreya Tiwary, Richard K. Bowles
We use molecular dynamics simulation to study the relationship between structure and dynamics in supercooled binary Lennard--Jones nanoparticles over a range of particle sizes. The…
Thermodynamics, structure and dynamics of cylindrically confined hard spheres: The role of excess helical twist
Mahdi Zarif, Richard K. Bowles
Hard spheres confined to narrow quasi-one-dimensional cylindrical channels form perfect helical structures at close packing. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulation to show that…
Crystal Growth Rates from Molecular Liquids: The Kinetics of Entropy Loss
Richard K Bowles, Peter Harrowell
It has been established empirically that the rate of addition of molecules to the crystal during crystal growth from the melt is proportional to exp(-|ΔS_fus|/R) where ΔS_fus is th…
Is there a Granular Potential?
Josh M. Gramlich, Mahdi Zarif, Richard K. Bowles
Granular materials, such as sand or grain, exhibit many structural and dynamic characteristics similar to those observed in molecular systems, despite temperature playing no role i…
The Influence on Crystal Nucleation of an Order-Disorder Transition among the Subcritical Clusters
Richard K. Bowles, Peter Harrowell
Studies of nucleation generally focus on the properties of the critical cluster, but the presence of defects within the crystal lattice means that the population of nuclei necessar…
Inherent Structure Landscape of Hard Spheres Confined to Narrow Cylindrical Channels
Mahdi Zarif, Raymond J. Spiteri, Richard K. Bowles
The inherent structure landscape for a system of hard spheres confined to a hard cylindrical channel, such that spheres can only contact their first and second neighbours, is studi…
