Reply to Smallenburg: Near-melting nucleation and the exponential growth of hard-sphere nucleation times

Roseanna N. Zia

Smallenburg reports near-melting point simulations and observes a well-predicted spontaneous nucleation with mixed, finite-time morphology, in a Comment on our recent Perspective.…

Frenkel's entropy-exchange mechanism in monodisperse, nearly hard-sphere colloids: minimal perturbations to access fluid-crystal coexistence

J. Galen Wang, Umesh Dhumal, Monica E. A. Zakhari +1

Entropically driven fluid-solid transitions in monodisperse, purely repulsive hard spheres (MPRHS) are well established in theory, simulation, and experiment for atomic and colloid…

The matter/life nexus in biological cells

Vishal S. Sivasankar, Roseanna N. Zia

The search for what differentiates inanimate matter from living things began in antiquity as a search for a "fundamental life force" embedded deep within living things - a special…

The elusive fluid-and-crystal coexistence state in simulations of monodisperse, hard-sphere colloids

J. Galen Wang, Umesh Dhumal, Monica E. A. Zakhari +1

Monodisperse, purely repulsive, hard spheres (MPRHS) are an important model system for mechanistically exploring phase behavior in atomic systems and colloids. Since the 1940s, pha…

Far-from-equilibrium Sheared Colloidal Liquids: Disentangling Relaxation, Advection, and Shear-induced Diffusion

Neil Y. C Lin, Sushmit Goyal, Xiang Cheng +3

Using high-speed confocal microscopy, we measure the particle positions in a colloidal suspension under large amplitude oscillatory shear. Using the particle positions we quantify…
